My snake plant has root rot, how do I save it or propagat...

@YokeTinderconk Cut the bottom rotting part off with sterilized scissors wiped down with rubbing alcohol. Then Sterilize them again and cut them into smaller pieces. Pay attention when you're cutting and make sure you plant the bottom down into the soil. Put them in the pot upright. There's no need to water until they start growing roots. The pups get everything they need from the cutting. You'll be able to tell they have roots When you tug on them gently and they don't feel like they're going to come right out. Good luck!! You've got this!! 😁👍
@princesspitstop great advice and visual 😁
@DesertGreen lol thanks 😊 I've been propagating my Snake plant since March and just got pups last month. They take their sweet time! 😁 It will happen it just takes FOREVER 😂
@YokeTinderconk I forgot to mention...if you have any root hormone that you can dip the cut in before you plant them I would recommend it. It's a powder and it only takes a small amount. Dip the cut end into it, gently knock the excess off and plant it directly into the soil. It helps the roots grow faster. Walmart has it on sale right now for $5.98 😁👍
