Snake with no roots!
I recently got this guy as a pup from a friend. He stopped growing and I went to repot thinking that was the problem, but I suddenly realized there were no roots! I have him in water and Iโm hoping theyโll grow, but is there something else I should try?? He seemed so healthyโฆ #SnakePlant #PropagationStation #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NotSoHappyPlants #PlantAddict #NewGrowth @Nightshade #GregGang

2ft to light, direct

4โ pot with drainage

Last watered 2 weeks ago
@Boymom-plantmom he has some, but theyโre all crispy and orange. Seem like they might fall off any second.
@tango ahh ok. Put water in that jar
@Boymom-plantmom done! Hopefully he perks up.
@PlantMompy ok!! Just did that, and hopefully some new roots will show!! Thanks for the help. ๐
@tango you're welcome! You could always add pothos, rooting hormone or hydrogen peroxide to give it a boost if you feel it needs it.
@PlantMompy oh sounds good! I donโt know if I have pothos cuttings right now, but I have hydrogen peroxide and rooting powder. Iโll try the peroxide! ๐
That happened to me with a robusto(sp) I bought from Costco. I knocked it once and it fell out of the pot and had no roots. I stuck it in a much smaller pot and left it alone. I jussstttt repotted it like 2 days ago. Not a crazy amount of roots but ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ it's alive so I'm happy.
I hope this one grows strong healthy roots for you, it's so pretty!
