I let them callous over for a few days beforehand.
Lay them flat on potting soil, mist from time to time, they won't usually root in water.
The idea is to mimic the natural process where a leaf will break and fall on the ground to take root
Thank you :) Would you cut off the lowest centimentre that was laying in water or would you put them on soil immediately?
They take a lot longer than 2 weeks to begin rooting, in my experience. But if you leave them in the water they'll root eventually.
As a side note, the babies will not have yellow leaf edges. This type of sansevieria reverts to an all-green variety when propped this way. If you want to keep the yellow edges, you have to prop them by letting them bud off the main root.
oh I did not know that, thank you
