The first thing you do is to choose mature and healthy leaves to cut. Cut the bottom of the leaf in a V shape to increase the surface area. This will accelerate root growth compared to not cutting it. Allow the cut leaves to dry for a few days before placing them in water. You can apply this method to several types of sansevieria, it may be a little difficult for sansevieria cylindrica with thick green leaves than other types of sansevieria.

Place the snake plant container in a location with plenty of bright, indirect light. Change the water regularly to avoid algae growth that interfere with root growth.
