Have you tried the diagnosis prompt on the app?

#### Carly replied on 2025-01-14

Yes but it always seems to diagnose the same things for my plants so never sure how accurate it is. It said watering imbalance for this but I’m not sure if I should chop the affected leaf or not?

### DJ commented on 2025-01-14

No don't chop it. That hurts the plant. Try letting the soil dry out a bit in between watering. When did you last water her/him?

The lighting in based on the your photo looks a little low. Hope something is sent aids you moving forward. Peace and blessings!

Thanks

### Sydnei commented on 2025-01-14

it’s likely overwatered. chop the portion and let the plant dry out in between watering

#### Carly replied on 2025-01-14

Thank you

Too much water. My snake plants get watered once a month, that’s it.

#### Carly replied on 2025-01-15

Do you find top watering or bottom watering to be better?

### Kevin commented on 2025-01-15

I bottom water almost all of my plants.
