Hey everyone, I inherited this snake plant from a friend \& it’s still droopy after caring for it for a few months. Leaves aren’t brittle but i’m in a very dry climate and have tried watering more for awhile \& then less for awhile w/ no luck. Thank you!😭🙏

Maybe put in brighter light for a bit? Pretty green.

When you say watering more or less, about how often do you mean for each?

Treat it like a succulent: it’s okay to let it dry out and though they can grow in low light, they’ll thrive with bright light.
