Not sure how to save it but snake plants enjoy lots of light and allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Check the root system looking for black rotted roots. If you find that’s an issue, it’s caused by overwatering. Let us know and I’m sure someone will explain a fix. ### thevikingwoman님이 2025-01-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yeah, snake plants definitely thrive on neglect. I have to basically ignore mine so I don’t overwater it 😆 ### Sunny님이 2025-01-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. The plant looks too dry based on the multiple wrinkles in the leaves and the smaller shoots dying off. Thoroughly soak the soil when watering. Let it drain. Then, allow the soil to dry out again. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/eWbvZ-FWTmCsAiMXjcXIRQ.webp?size=large) #### WillNYC님이 2025-01-10에 답변했습니다. Just did it. Hopefully get better, will update #### Sunny님이 2025-01-11에 답변했습니다. It should recover. They are very resilient. Give it bright filtered sunlight. A south windowsill with light filtered through a sheer curtain is good. A grow light within 1 foot is better when it runs at least 12 hours a day. Fertilize starting in spring or use a timed release fertilizer. #### WillNYC님이 2025-01-11에 답변했습니다. I didn’t realize we need to fertilize the plants… I will research what to give it ### Frondsie님이 2025-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. She may like a little smaller pot too. #### WillNYC님이 2025-01-11에 답변했습니다. This plant was in this pot since I got it from the local shop like 2 years ago ### Sunny님이 2025-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. All potted plants need fertilizer. There are too many kinds to choose. I just use standard Miracle Gro blue crystals that I dilute to 50% of the recommended amount. I apply it twice a month with SuperThrive plant vitamins. I use a lot less in winter months or I just stop fertilizing until spring. Many plants have slow growth in winter and need less or no fertilizer until spring. #### WillNYC님이 2025-01-13에 답변했습니다. Ordered “Jobes Spikes” seems easy to use #### Sunny님이 2025-01-13에 답변했습니다. Be careful not to get concentrated fertilizer near a small area and burn the roots. Osmocote fertilizer beads is just as convenient and you can evenly distribute the beads. They slowly release fertilizer over 6-9 months. Nurseries add timed release fertilizer to plants be delivery. The photo shows the green fertilizer beads in my Hoya Viola from Gardino Nursery. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/9JkLWuBUQeG_jFEUpmLiVw.webp?size=large) #### WillNYC님이 2025-01-13에 답변했습니다.
