You have to be patient with them, they can be slow growers. Sounds like it's in the right soil mixture, getting bright light, looks good.

I was told by a very nice forum member to use Osmocote in the green container, just sprinkle some on the soil, it's slow release fertilizer.

Karen, that's an interesting point. I once put a small plant of S. trifasciata 'Laurentii' with only one leaf in a 2.5-gallon nursery pot. I provided it with nearly ideal growing conditions: sunlight, soil, water, temperature, fertilizer, etc. For months there was no sigh of growth at all. Then I got impatient and dug it out to take a look. It turned out that it had grown a massive root system with some long roots starting to circulate the bottom of the pot. But it didn't produce any pups during that period.

It is a single leaf with a root system. I will try putting it in a smaller pot. Does anyone know what kind of snake plant this is? I got it off eBay and they did not specify. Thx in advance!

It looks like Sansevieria trifasciata.

Thank you!

If you repot it into a smaller pot now, the plant will put a lot of it's energy and resources into re establishing it's root system. If I were you I would just let it be. It's beautiful and established. Give it time, and let it do it's thing.

Just one thing, you say you have it in a sun room, but are you sure it's getting enough sunlight? Is it close enough to a window or sun roof? Without sunlight there is no photosynthesis, and the plant won't have enough energy for growth. To me it looks a little pale.

Thank you!!! Great advice!

I would be patient with it. Awhile back, I accidentally broke off a small "arm" of a monadenium ritchiei (euphorbia). I didn't want to toss it so I stuck it in a 2" pot of Turface (dry) and waited. After about a month, it grew one tiny root nub...so I planted that in the same 2" pot but with gritty mix, and began to treat it like a real plant -- light and water. It grew a small leaf, but nothing else. I got impatient and removed it from its pot. TONS of roots! -- but again, not much on top. Now he is in a 3" clay pot in gritty mix and I am going to be patient for at least a year. Silly plants -- they will surprise you. I find that many of my "repots" easily take half a year to acclimate, and then they "take hold."

All good advise above. Is the plant being kept above 70 degrees? If too cool they will take much longer to get bigger. Sansevieria prefer heat.

Oh ok I didn't know that sans2014. We keep it at 72 in our house. Should I put it outside during the day for a couple hours? It's usually around 80 degrees.

Outside would be ideal, if you have a spot that gets morning sun, but it has to be acclimated slowly. One hour a day for the first week. If you have a shaded spot that gets bright, dappled light, like an under a tree, I would place it there.

if I understand the question: I would tend not to do "day trips" for the plant. It would be better as Manuel said to acclimate it to a sheltered bright spot that gets some sun some dappled light. Try and keep it out of the rain. On the other hand: 72 is not too bad a temperature ( higher heat will make it grow faster though), my house is 66-68 for 8 months of the year. You could just keep the plant inside and place in the warmest bright spot you have. This way you don't have to worry about acclimatization nor insects or rain issues.

This is a good site- it is aimed at commercial growers, but lots of information:

No UJ, no need to put it outside, I think those indoor temps are fine. I have about 10 different Sans & keep on AC room temp 74.

It's just fine, I think more important is to give them bright light.
