Norma

Norma,
you know more of propagation than you think. But, if it helps you, you can
use hormone containing IBA and NAA in the right proportion, they come
already mixed. Mix the hormone in the lowest concentration recommended.
Sansevierias are very sensitvie plants and will rot at a higher
concentration. Use a fungicide after and let it sit for a couple of days in
light (not sun).  None of the above is terribly important. The cutting will
produce more and better roots, but it won't root faster.

Plant them in very loose mix. You can plant them in pumice straight or
mixed with sand. If straight, you will have to watch the watering closely
to see that it does not dry. If with sand, it will retain some moisture.

Very important are also light and minimum temperature. If you really want
them to root and pup keep a minimum of 75 to 78 degrees. Temperature alone
does not do it, as proven by all botanical gardens in northern Europe,
where the lack of light makes cuttings root in 8 to 10 months rather than
our three-four weeks. Highest light exposure but no sun!
Good luck
Happy Holidays,

Juan
