Does this pot seem too big for this size of snake plant? If i am careful with not overwatering will it grow roots and adjust, or should I just go ahead and downsize the pot?

That pot is just fine, no need to worry :)

It should be fine just watch your watering

### Victoria Maddison commented on 2025-05-10

I think it looks okay, and there’s room to grow :)

Snake plants do like to be in tighter posts, I’m not sure what size ur roots are but usually about 1-2 inches bigger than the roots is good. Never go based off the size of the leaves, always on the size of the roots;)

Thanks so much for all this great feedback! I’ll watch my watering and keep a close eye on it :D
