Variegated Snake Plant Division: Winter Timing in Sydney

Variegated Sansevieria cuttings revert to green. To keep variegation, divide the rhizome (dig up a section with roots).

Winter Division in Sydney

• If temps stay above 10°C (50°F) and plant is actively growing, division is fine.
• Divisions may be floppy—stake for a few weeks.
• Same care: bright light, water thoroughly then bone dry.

Key Rules

• Never overwater—#1 killer.
• Well-draining soil (cactus mix).
• Bright light maintains variegation.

Spring is ideal, but mild Sydney winters allow careful division now.
