# Hi new friends! I’m trying to be better to my kids and not kill…

Hi new friends! I’m trying to be better to my kids and not kill another one. Planta told me my snake plant probably needed more light so I did move her next to the south facing light in my room but my question is, do we think she has any hope of surviving? She’s gotten very skinny…

Love the “please don’t die sign”, I hope she pulls through!!!

I think she will survive and thrive if you get the light and watering right. The south side window is the best choice for snake plants.  
She’s gotten skinny probably because she was trying to reach the closest light source. In what kind of substrate is she potted?
