# I have a snake plant and the tip of the leaf was starting to turn…

I have a snake plant and the tip of the leaf was starting to turn yellow and dry out. I know that this can happen from over watering. Should I leave it alone or is there anything else I can do

Try cutting off that part of yellow, and leave the plant alone for some time… maybe take out of direct direct sun.

Always try the chopstick method if you are unsure, stick the chopstick in the soil and if the chopstick comes out dirty, the plant does NOT need to be watered. If the chopstick comes out clean, you DO need to water it.

They really don’t like a lot of water. I do mine once every 3 weeks
