Snake Plant Leaves falling over is more likely to occur with taller growing varieties.Like the darker Sansevieria trifasciata “Zeylanica” and the yellow-edged Sansevieria trifasciata “Laurentii” .
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT FALLING LEAVES?It’s pretty simple. Just prune and propagate.
STEPS TO PROPOGATECut the leaf all the way down to the soil line. Make sure your pruners are clean and sharp to avoid a jagged cut and/or infection.Because those leaves contain a lot of water, I let the bottoms heal over for before planting. Anywhere from 3-7 days is fine.
STEPS TO PROPOGATEThe way I do it is to put the leaf back in the pot with the mother plant; the one it came out of. You can also put it in a separate pot filled with succulent and cactus mix or propagation mix if you’d like.
STEPS TO PROPOGATEYou’ll probably need to stake the leaf so it stays standing while the roots form and it’s able to stay upright on its own.Let the mix stay dry for 3-5 days before watering
