My large snake plant has recently started folding in with some of its leaves. is it not enough water? It gets plenty of sun by my balcony window.

Sounds like it might be over-watering. I only water my snake plants once a month or even longer. They’re desert plants

When my snake plant had folding leaves it was overwatering - I’d forgotten to drain it and there was still water in the pot, but letting it dry out for a few weeks helped the plant recover.

So maybe skipping a few watering sessions will stop any other leaves from folding in your plant.

Definitely over watering! These do better if you forget to water them for a couple months over watering too frequently. They grow in very sunny, very arid conditions natively. Let it dryyyy all the way out. You might lose the floppy leaves, you might not
