It looks like it may be overwatered and have root rot
2개 좋아요No way I’ve only watered two or three times since end of march

0개 좋아요Even watering it that much can be too much for a snake plant. One of that size could actually go a couple months between watering. Are you making sure that it is bone dry to the bottom of the pot before watering?
0개 좋아요Yes I have a soil moisture meter
0개 좋아요Moisture meters aren’t the most accurate way to measure moisture because they measure conductivity in the soil, which can be affected by other things. I recommend using a chopstick or wooden skewer instead. You leave it in the soil for a minute, and if it comes out wet or with soil on it, you wait to water.
0개 좋아요I doubt a dense soil like this needed to be watered twice or three times since march. repot. snake plants like aerated, fast draining soil, not mud they suffocate in.
좋아요 1개I had this happen to a snake plant and it was that I was overwatering it. I took the plant out of soil to repot and got as much soil off roots as possible. Then I let sit out for 2 days to dry out before I repotted it. I now let the soil get completely dry before watering and I make sure the excess is drained out of drainage holes.

succulents can be tricky in this way. it could’ve been overwatered from where you purchased it too.
0개 좋아요Snake plants don't require much water. I water mine every 4-8 weeks. Sometimes longer in the winter. 😊
좋아요 1개Check the roots. Remove any that may be bad and add perlite to your soil. Water when completely dry.
