Instructions
Step 1:
Cut and separate the leaves from the plant piece by piece.
Step 2:
Clean each of the leaves by wiping them with a cloth or tissue.
Step 3:
Clean your sharp knife and cut the lower part of the leaf diagonally.
Step 4:
Hold the leaves together using one hand and tie them a few inches from the bottom together using a tying wire. Twist the ends together to secure. Use scissors to cut the excess wire. Make sure the leaves are properly secured but not too tight.
Step 5:
Clean gravel with water. You can use a colander to make sure that it is properly cleaned. Then dry them.
Step 6:
Add some gravel to the glass bowl and spread on the bottom. Place the snake plant in an upright position. Hold it while filling more gravel.
Step 7:
Fill the bowl with filtered water. To take care of a snake plant growing in water, just change the water twice a month. If you use fresh water or tap water, change the water once a week.
