    The pot is too big and the soil looks to be too compacted to drain well. What’s your watering schedule been like and does water run out of the pot quickly when you do water?

      I should’ve disclosed more but the photo was me in the middle of repotting and I just added that part back in first. The previous pot did not have proper drainage but the new one does. I last watered on the 15th and it usually is twice a month I believe.

      Oh nice! So it sounds like drainage from the pot likely isn’t the issue. With mine, even after adding holes, the soil was still holding onto more moisture than it wanted. I ended up mixing in pumice and perlite with a cactus/succulent mix to make it a lot grittier, and that made a big difference. Even now, mine only needs water every few weeks, so they can definitely be a bit on the drier side. Hope that helps a little—good luck!

    What kind of snake plant is it?

    It looks like some water went in the crown of your snake plant. Also since you are mentioning that you were repotting, which size pot did you go with? As this plant do not seem big enough to justify that size shown (unless it has the most massive root ball, then I stand corrected)
