Hello everyone,
I was gifted a large pot with multiple snake plants in it. Unfortunately, it appears that the plants have been overwatered since some of the leaves feel mushy and a couple of them became completely detached from the stem after I barely touched them.
Furthermore, almost all snake plants in that pot have unusual growths/stalks coming from the middle of the plant. The said stalks look like pups – they have their own roots and leaves. I have more than 15 different snake plant varieties and I have never seen any of them do this. Here are some pictures:
The previous owner(s) planted these Sansevierias very deep, so all those stalks' roots were covered with soil. Also, they kept the snake plants in a relatively dark room.
Could somebody please tell me what exactly are those growths/stalks? I want to repot all these snake plants in fresh, airy soil, but I do not know what to do with those unusual stalks. From what I know of snake plants, they do not like to have a large portion of their leaves touch the soil, but that is the only way that I can plant them to make sure that the stalks' roots are covered in soil.
