_Publié par Cassandra le 2023-08-31_

Hello!! I have been gifted this plant and it was already in rough shape. I tried cutting off the dead parts and have been watering it as necessary but today i left it for too much time in the sun. What can I do to help?

Snake plant prefer light shade area and doesn’t need much water. Once a week is fine.

I am not sure about the drooped leaves perking back up but you have lots of leaves that are in good shape!! I’ve literally gone months without watering my snake plant and it’s fine lol

Snake plants thrive off neglect. I water my snake plants once a month. That’s enough since they store water. They also prefer low light to filtered bright light.
