Propagating Snake Plant

[big rockpile]

I took a Leaf off a Snake Plant cut it in three pieces and stuck them in the soil hoping they will root.

Will this work?

Yes, if you let it dry out a day or two BEFORE putting it in soil, it works. Otherwise it's liable to just rot.

Ok I might want to redo this. No problem.

They will be the regular green type without yellow edges.

Recently Sansevieria was reclassified to Dracaena.

The variegation is due to a chimera and the yellow part doesn’t come through on new shoots produced by leaf cuttings. You can only propagate that through division of new stems.
