I repotted my snake plant a couple of weeks ago. Today I noticed some dried up leaves at the base. Is this normal, or did I cause lasting damage to the plant?

From what I’ve gathered from other posters, snake plants like to be snug in their pots. I’m not an expert on them, of course. But that could be a cause? Especially if the pot was a drastic size difference

The plant went from the same size pot to this one. I just thought the old pot was ugly 🙈

It looks more to be just the casings from the leaf. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe a little bit of shock from the transplant also.
