# GUYS so like a few weeks ago some of the leaves of my snake plant…

_Geplaatst door ABucketOfPlants op 2024-03-05_

GUYS so like a few weeks ago some of the leaves of my snake plant were drooping. It seemed to be underwatering bc I measured the dryness of the soil with a skewer. The weird thing is that I watered it two days ago…so I checked the roots and I repotted it because I thought maybe it was soaking up the water too quickly since it was rootbound. After two-three weeks of waiting the leaves have still not undrooped, and the soil is still moist. ??? What is happening?

Some additional details: the tips of the leaves that are drooping are turning brown. I’ve been watering it exactly when I should and I even measure the moisture of the soil before watering. It has drainage holes and the soil is plenty airy so I’m so baffled as to what is wrong.

It sounds like too much water. Check drain holes. The soil shouldn’t be moist for two-three weeks.

It might be dry by now since it was completely new soil so it was damp
