# What’s wrong with my cactus? I bought this in early Decemver then…

What’s wrong with my cactus? I bought this in early Decemver then repotted it in a welldraining soil without watering it. I watered this less than a week ago when the soil checked out as dry all the way to the bottom. I noticed the tips are browing. Idk what I’m doing wrong 😭

Is it a cylinder snake plant? If so, you need to use only distilled or rain water. It’s sensitive to lime in the water. Also, give it some adjusting time after repotting. They are sensitive for about a month after.

I used tap water that I was sitting around for over 24 hours (what I normally do with watering plants). I’ll keep an eye out and try bottled water next time

I agree that’s definitely a type of snake plant

I believe that's an sansevieria fernwood. Mine gets brown tips as well which might be due to my underwatering. I water mine every 6-8 weeks.
