# I just rescued this baby from my place of work! I believe he is…

_Posted by Sunshine on 2025-05-05_

I just rescued this baby from my place of work! I believe he is suffering from dehydration and I need to repot him because the previous owner wants the pot back.  
I know snake plants can be very hardy but do we think I can rehabilitate him?? I watered him yesterday. Any tips? Thanks!

I got my snake plant to thrive using a chunky soil and only watering with rain water. I think he can make a comeback!! Ps- cute cat! 😺

I’ve had good luck with the fox farm soils. Mix in perlite and small orchid bark for most of my plants
