How to Propagate a Snake Plant - Dividing Pups

Once you have cut away and remove the babies from the mother snake plant, you can then put them in smaller individual pots with their own soil. Remember that snake plants are succulents and they demand a fast draining soil. It is advised to mix up your own soil that’s fast draining or you can buy a premixed, cactus and succulent mix. When putting the pups into their individual pots, make sure to have enough soil to cover all of the roots and that rise song that you cut away from the mother plant.
