Propagating Snake Plant

[big rockpile]

I took a Leaf off a Snake Plant cut it in three pieces and stuck them in the soil hoping they will root.

Will this work?

Yes, if you let it dry out a day or two BEFORE putting it in soil, it works. Otherwise it's liable to just rot.

Ok I might want to redo this. No problem.

They will be the regular green type without yellow edges.

Yes, they will be green without the yellow edges.

Recently Sansevieria was reclassified to Dracaena.

The variegation is due to a chimera and the yellow part doesn’t come through on new shoots produced by leaf cuttings. You can only propagate that through division of new stems.
