Noticed some spots on my snake plants today. Maybe red leaf spot? Immediately overreacted, isolated it, and cut a few leaves. Wiped the remaining leaves after with some hypochlorous acid before I snapped out of it. Did I just kill her for no reason? 😭

      Slightly on the backs where they dip down into the soil or on the back where the tips are. I’ll include a few pictures for reference!

      There’s a lot of overwatering happening on planta so it feels refreshing to ask this 😂 ….is it possible you’re underwatering? Where does this live? Proximity to window and what direction does the window face? And how often do you water?

      I guess that is pretty refreshing! lol It lives in a NE facing window! Not ideal, I know but it’s the sunniest window in our little condo. It had been doing great for a while and even pushed up a new rosette not too long ago… I did forget about it for a month though and just barely watered before an untimely death…It seemed to revive okay until I saw the spots! I usually test by how light/dry the pot feels and then give it a good soaking before I forget about it again for about two weeks. Hope I didn’t just kill it 😬 Or resign it to fungal disease…

    Underwatering here yields a much better prognosis! Have you ever repotted?

      I have not! Been about a year since I got her too. Maybe it’s time for a bigger home?

      yes! i would upgrade the pot & use terra cotta, which helps dry out the soil well & more quickly than plastic.
