One of my snake plant leaves is yellowing and a bit soft. I water once a month. I haven’t watered this guy in almost a month. What’s going on? Should I cut the yellow leaf off?

hmm weird! it could just be old i suppose — it should be easy enough to pop it out of that pot to check the roots for any signs of rot. how long have you had it?

6 months. I got it from a nice nursery in my area. Weird!

maybe it’s ready for a repot? won’t know until you check the roots 😊

Seems to have outgrown her pot.

Might help if you repot
