I figured it would be totally fine in my care since it had been in their house so long. There, it sat right in front of a window with direct light. I keep in in front of my window but it doesn’t get quite as much light as it used to. About 10 months later, many of the leaves are getting yellower. I really don’t want to deal with repotting because I’m very much a beginner. Any advice?

Do you have a porch to put it on #### plant 🪴 wiserd님이 2025-03-30에 답변했습니다. It might help you #### Emily님이 2025-03-30에 답변했습니다. I’ve tried porch plants before and end up forgetting they exist ### BigGrac님이 2025-03-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. How often do you water it? #### Emily님이 2025-03-30에 답변했습니다. Maybe every 2-3 weeks? ### Lauralye님이 2025-03-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Ok so two problems 1. It may have too much direct sunlight a day 2. Too much watering you should water it every 3-4 weeks #### Emily님이 2025-03-31에 답변했습니다. The sun would surprise me because it used to sit right in a west facing window. This window faces south. Could it be not enough sun? ### Lynda님이 2025-03-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’m so sorry your snake plant looks this poorly, especially since it’s a family heirloom. I was trying to find the size of your plants pot, but noticed you hadn’t filled out the information that Planta needs to set up watering requirements; it’s always a good idea to keep your plant info up-to-date. FYI, many of us don’t follow Planta’s suggestions on a regular basis, because everybody’s set ups are different… you know, humidity, sunlight, soil, etc. IMO, it looks like your snake plant is probably overwatered. I have a large snake plant in a 7 inch pot, and it only gets watered around every 50 days or so. Be sure to use a wooden STAKE to measure your plants soil dryness. If you need help with that, just ask, and you’ll get lots of help. Best of luck! ### Springvision님이 2025-03-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. I'm with Linda on the previous comment. Too much water. I have let mine go weeks and weeks without watering. I like to get good and dry and then give them a good drench. Those leaves will never recover. You might as well. Just cut them off. ### Joana님이 2025-03-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. Maybe it has a lot of water you should add monthly ### Laura B님이 2025-03-31에 댓글을 남겼어요. Too much water. They’re succulents technically so they don’t need it very often. #### Emily님이 2025-04-04에 답변했습니다. Very interesting!
