# Is this root rot on my snake plant??? Its leaves were drooping even…

_Geplaatst door ABucketOfPlants op 2024-03-24_

Is this root rot on my snake plant??? Its leaves were drooping even before I repotted it a month ago and its leaves were wrinkly and it turns out it was because the soil wasn’t thick enough to hold the water long enough for the roots to absorb it. I repotted it into chunkier but still airy soil. I watered it 2-3 days ago and it’s kind of dark but not soggy at all, only a little moist. I only water my snake plant when the soil is completely bone dry all the way through.

i don’t see any rot

#### ABucketOfPlants antwoordde op 2024-03-24

Then what’s that yellow coloring near the base and the wrinkles?

#### sarita antwoordde op 2024-03-24

i’m not sure :( it’s not mushy at all? did you check the actual roots for rot?

#### max antwoordde op 2024-03-24

^^ did you notice anything on the roots when you repotted?

#### ABucketOfPlants antwoordde op 2024-03-24

Nope I wasn’t looking too closely but it seemed fine

#### ABucketOfPlants antwoordde op 2024-03-24

I don’t think the roots were rotted and the yellow stuff near the base isn’t mushy

#### ABucketOfPlants antwoordde op 2024-03-24

What kind of light is it getting?

#### ABucketOfPlants antwoordde op 2024-03-25

It gets full light from a south facing window

#### Oatishkay antwoordde op 2025-08-15

Ahhh I completely forgot about this I was never notified sorryy. Do you still need help with the plant or has it gotten better?

### sarita reageerde op 2024-03-27
