    When is the last time you watered? How wet is the soil currently? What kind of soil is it in?

      I watered it maybe 2-3 weeks ago? It's in potting soil I got from Target 🫣

    Move it into some more light, could be droopy from overwatering, I definitely think you should check its roots

      I think the soil might need to be changed to something more light and airy for better drainage

      I’m not sure if you’re a visual learner like I am but I’d say look up some videos on them

    I heard recently that snake plants are not the low light plants they’ve been branded as. It might be happier with some supplemental light

      Thank you for sharing! It's definitely my furthest-from-the-window plant.

    Snake plants definitely love light way more than we’ve been led to believe. They do tend to thrive on neglect but if it’s been that long since you’ve watered it I’d check the bottom and see how wet it is. If it’s dry then put it in a sink, tub, or bucket with some like warm water and let it sit there for about 20 minutes. I water a lot of my plants this way because it helps to prevent root rot. Make sure that when you take her out of the water you leave her in the sink or tub so that she can finish draining. That’s crucial if you want to avoid root rot.
