I noticed it on the snake plant I got from easyplant as well. It's not due to the company because they didn't arrive like this. Just want to know if location of the plant can be causing this. I appreciate your feedback. I am noticing that the soil is super moist on top could that be the cause? I filled the planter and haven't had to touch it sense but I'm wondering if I should only fill it halfway next time instead of the recommended full thing. ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lTEQkL8AXHIEv_-9g77ck0GgYKcSI1w8FAAuKrelqkg/3AGCeNW6SqeyH10rmI0Qqw.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lTEQkL8AXHIEv_-9g77ck0GgYKcSI1w8FAAuKrelqkg/BGNazN7ATze-qCAe8n0Cpw.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lTEQkL8AXHIEv_-9g77ck0GgYKcSI1w8FAAuKrelqkg/sStUSuw_TRG-nRKWMBqgPQ.webp?size=large) ## 14개의 댓글 ### Oatishkay님이 2024-04-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. That sadly looks like rot.. How often do you water it? Zz and snake plants both like to dry up completely before watering ### Plantress님이 2024-04-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. They arrived to my house on the 29th of March. That is when I put water in it. They are self-watering. #### Karilisa님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. When plant are low light it takes longer to dry it looks like rot cause by moisture #### Plantress님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. Can I still save it? ### Moriah님이 2024-04-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Take that thing outta the self watering pot immediately! Lol what I learned the hard way is they will sell ANY plant in a self watering pot - even if they’re not meant to be in one. Zz’s like to be very dry before getting watered. #### Plantress님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. 🫣 thanks for the info. The soil is super moist at the top. #### Plantress님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. Am I able to save it though? #### Moriah님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. Yeaaaa I had a money tree in I think that same branded pot! And it was light pale pale green because I was essentially drowning it. Save those pots for plants like African violets or a fern!! #### Moriah님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. That one piece is a gonner 🥹 BUT if you take it out like right now, assess the root rot and pick off any dead roots before repotting you may be able to save it! #### Oatishkay님이 2024-04-19에 답변했습니다. If you wanted to, you could propagate some of the zz plant. I’ve heard that you can propagate it with just the leaf. _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### Gracie님이 2024-04-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. spray the roots you are able to save with hydrogen peroxide, undiluted. you won’t need to rinse it or anything. this will not harm the plant. it will kill any bacteria left from the root rot ### Miranda님이 2024-04-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Overwatering ### Plantress님이 2024-04-20에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lTEQkL8AXHIEv_-9g77ck0GgYKcSI1w8FAAuKrelqkg/b3-JOrMYQaqwVrP45SCXYQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
