Mom had some gardening couple of months ago, she tried to throw these leaves to garbage. Luckily, I'm in charge of garbage and took the leaves and replanted or re-pot some where else.
Looking at it today there had some success and new leaves were growing. I've seen some empty pots out here that were once planted lettuce, that actually died. That's what got me the opportunity to cut new leaves and replant them again.
There's about eight pots so far, but there's just 2 to 4 leave cuttings on it. I'm sure some of them will die. But others will grow.
My plan is to put some of them in my room every night to get myself more oxygen inside. They produce more O2 at night and filters air. I had this last year when I was still in the smaller room.
Another reason why is that I got tired of planting vegetable leaves, they died..

I don't know about that it does say it filters the air and gives oxygen at night @ilocosboy which is why sometimes I have a good sleep.

Some said you didn't need to have a green thumb to do it @Shavkat but I don't know about that as well.

@Letranknight2015 You should not fuss much over it. Just have some porous sandy soil and a bit of water. That's it.

@Letranknight2015 But you have to at least once in a while see how they are doing and water them also.

I knew snake plants. I've planted some at home. They are easy to plant and to take care of. I like their leaves. Is it an indoor plant?

Yes, It's an indoor plant it but needs some shades of sunlight @averygirl72 as for me I bring them out in the morning and then take them back in the afternoon.

I hope these do just fine Letran. You have quite the green thumb haven't you?
I am glad you rescued these.
I have one plant that has been reduced because the leaves are dry and I got some gnats in the soil so annoying.

I took it from the old leaves who are over grown so that they can be replanted @TiarasOceanView I have seen progress after a couple of months already.

I think we have some of that @prashu228 but I made a mistake replanting one because it didn't have a root under it.

That snake plant is very scientifically useful to man. It helps people experience better sleep.It is a comforting plants. It releases oxygen while we sleep , thus giving us cool feeling and nice breathing. Place one or three pots in your bedroom, honestly they let you sleep well. I have just bought 8 pots of snake plants. Put some pots inside your home in sala, in dining area.

It is difficult to grow vegetable Plants. What you are allowing is a good plant. It produces O2. Hence, undoubtedly good for health,

Well, I wanted to have a smaller one because it's just easy to carry back outside when it needs the sun @shivamani10

I wasn't really into flowering it @abhinalstrikr as long as it grows and could put in my room.
