2. Snake Plants

Snake plants are very easy to grow and a favorite among those of us who tend to forget to water our indoor plants. They are almost impossible to kill and won’t stop growing, not even in low-light conditions.

Devil’s tongue, mother-in-law’s tongue, sword plant—whatever you want to call it, these plants are a wonderful choice if you want one that will catch every guest’s attention.

They are also very easy to propagate. Why, you may ask? Well, because half the time, the snake plant propagates all by itself. In other words, if you’ve got a healthy and happy sword plant, it will put out pups. These pups are tiny little sword plants that grow right at the base of the main plant.

In order to propagate them, you’ll have to cut them off from the parent plant. You can easily do this without disturbing the main plant. Once cut, remove any traces of soil from the pup and let it scab over for 24–48 hours. The final step is to plant the pup in a cactus potting mix. That’s it!

If your snake plant doesn’t have pups, you can propagate it by removing one of its long leaves and cutting it into smaller pieces. Each section can be rooted either in soil or water.
