Any idea what is causing my snake plant to droop? I follow the watering schedule and repotted her a couple of months ago because her roots were coming out of the soil. Will she stand tall again or should I just trim her and propagate the ends?

Might need more light but I am no expert

I would say it’s getting too much water. Or either sitting in water too much/too long. Does that pot have adequate drainage? If you are following an app schedule then don’t. Once a month “if” that depending how much water you use. It really doesn’t take much as they store it up.

Snake plants actually like very acidic soil so if you happen to have any coffee grounds that you’ve used recently go ahead and throw like a tablespoon in with the dirt mix it around while you repot it
