Hellooo,

I’m new to plants and I was gifted this snake plant. I see it’s leaves a little brown and starting to droop downward. What could I do to help it out?

Cut the dead parts off. Make sure it has good indirect light because it looks leggy. Maybe check the soil and make sure it’s fast draining (cactus and succulent soil would be perfect). And it needs a drainage hole

Thank you!! 😁

It’s either overwatered or underwatered  
Feel soil and check to see which is more plausible

Thanks!! Will check.

Also make sure the soil is well-draining, if it’s not, it could be retaining too much moisture but I feel like it might be under watering
