What’s the name of this plant 🌱 ❓

#### Cierra replied on 2025-08-18

Snake plant for the less scientific name lol

Check for pests and overwatering or most common looks I’m seeing rn.. Just double check your plant again like the roots and just make sure you have a fast draining soil and some Perlite which is good for bacterial. And fungi spray just to keep the bugs away..

It looks like sunburn to me

#### Cierra replied on 2025-08-18

Brown parts were crunchy if that helps

Cut off the bad parts and put the healthy parts in water and in a few weeks they’ll root and become its own plant. Hope this helps!

I think the leaves are sunburnt. Make sure to keep it out of the light for a while (indirect light is great.) You could trim the sunburnt parts off or just keep them.

Try looking at the roots and seeing if there any root rot form overwatering. Make sure if you do repot to use a chunky soil mix.
