The pot is most likely way too big. Make sure it’s only 1-2 inches bigger than the rootball. Also make sure it’s a chunky soil mix. You might need to put it back into water and get a bigger stronger root system.

0개 좋아요I wait until the soil is like 75% dry. Sometimes more dry or less dry depending on the weather and what I think the plant needs. I check with a chop stick to match sure I’m not over or under watering.

좋아요 1개Yes, this planter has drainage holes and I put also the stones at the bottom
0개 좋아요Stones on the bottom can lead to toxic water that the plant can grow into just a heads up!
좋아요 1개My snake plants thrive in well draining soil, it that pot has attached saucer, it may not like it because it’ll sit in too much moisture. I trim browning regularly. I water when it’s about 25-50% dry. Don’t use rocks, use a well draining soil. Mine love a mixture of perlite, potting soil and orchid bark (mix and measure with my heart 🤣) It likes light but not direct or too hot (I live in the desert). I can dang near be neglectful and they keep going. I think pot and soil *appear* to be your culprit but I’m absolutely not an expert…I am winging the plant thing 😅
