How do you guys get sansevieria cuttings to grow roots? These lazy things have been sitting in water for two weeks (feddit.de)

I let them callous over for a few days beforehand.

Thank you :) Would you cut off the lowest centimentre that was laying in water or would you put them on soil immediately?

That I'm not sure, never started a succulent in water... If it looks like the tissue is waterlogged probably cut it, but if the callous is intact it might be fine...?

Oh, also if you have access to it, "cactus" soil mix will be the best
