Those edges will lighten further with time. This plant is a a good grower who will replace 'shelf wear' pretty quickly. To get the most out your young pups, leave them with mother plant till they are at least half her size. Left on to grow, they will likely grow larger than the first plant.

That's interesting. I was thinking that the pups were big enough and that leaving them to have them grow larger would make it more difficult to remove them from the mother plant. I also hadn't considered that the pups would grow better letting them remain attached to momma!

Here, right now, it's winter and many days are overcast---not the best time to repot, but I feel that this plant is in need of repotting, and that I have to do it now. You never know how long it's been at the store.

This plant looks similar to yours. The original plants were small and had stopped growth.. It gets a lot of sun when it's warm, and I fed it like a market hog last Summer. The younger growth is much larger and growing more erect. This started with 3 small but mature plants. Needs a change of medium this year. Oldest leaves still have store wear, I think I left two of them on.

Your plant is growing nicely! It has a nice shape to it. I thought these plants didn't need much fertilizer? So you removed some older damaged leaves? At what point did you do that? There's a couple of damaged leaves on mine. I was thinking about leaving them on for now. Or should I remove one or two now?

It was a really beat up pot of 3 small, neglected plants with no roots or rhizome to speak of. It did nothing for the first year, even having it out in the heat and sun. The next Summer, it made a couple of offsets. I did not feed much until this Summer, and not at all for Winter.

It probably does not need much fertilizer. It's corn fed, for sure.

We had a lot of rain this year, high heat and humidity. It just kind of bolted. I'm not in a hurry to remove disfigured leaves too quickly. All that photosynthetic material just feeds the rhizomes.

Wow, your patience paid off! Leaves feed the plant whether they are ugly or not, I guess! I didn't like snake plants before, but now I have a better appreciation of them. I think they suit the conditions in my home. I place them in a southwest window. When the trees leaf out, my sunlight is greatly reduced. Then I plan to bring some of my sans outside in the shade. I think they will like that.

Well I did a repot and it didn't work out as I planned. The plan was just to remove the media and repot into a pot somewhat larger. The pot it was in was bulging. So as I removed the media, the plant fell into two pieces. Then I decided I would have two pots, but one of the sections was too wide because the new pups were one on each side. So I decided to cut one of the pups off to give the plant a better shape and fit into the pot better. All this made me think of my father-in-law. He used to work renovating homes. He said you never know what you are going to find when you start renovating (i.e. under the carpet, or under the kitchen linoleum etc.)

I really hadn't counted on having three pots!

I cut one of the pups off from the section on the left.

I thought the plant was planted too deep in the original pot. Did I plant deep enough?

I look forward to seeing how they develop. Had I known I would be planting in three pots, I may have left it for another month. It's generally overcast here and cold.

What are your thoughts about the planting depth? I noticed that there were no roots in the top 1 inch of potting soil. Not sure if that meant that the plant was potted too deep or that additional media had been added to the top. I know from growing hosta, that the hosta is often planted or becomes too deep in the soil which affects growth. When the hosta is elevated, the stalks above the crown are whitish (for a while) as seen in some of my photos above.

I also have to wonder whether two plant pots were put together to make one pot since the plant fell apart quite easily.

Looking at your photo with the trio, it looks like 2 of those could go just a hair deeper but, they also look like they were growing at a slightly higher level than the parent plant.

Since my plant has become established it makes babies like crazy. You have a big head start.😁
