# I have a snake plant that I’ve had since pre covid times and it is in…

_Posted by Alexandra on 2024-03-17_

I have a snake plant that I’ve had since pre covid times and it is in desperate need of a repotting. It is also flowering and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it flower. Should I wait until it’s done flowering to repot it?

i would definitely wait until it’s no longer flowering! i only see plants put out flowers when they’re happy and in good conditions (:

Thank you! I do hate to admit that it is probably root bound too so I’m nervous! It has two smaller plants growing beside it in the pot as well so I know they all need more room very soon

snake plants actually love being root bound! you can leave it in that pot until it’s touching the sides of the pot and is trying to bust out the pot. it looks like you have a few inches on the left side!! you should be able to leave that for quite some time! if you want to of course (:

Okay great I’m definitely going to hold off I’m way too afraid of stressing the plant out too much! Thank you so much ☺️
