Anyone have advice for a snake plant? I am ready water and light on the internet but the app doesn’t really say that!

It needs to be in a much smaller pot to start! The pot should only be 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball. Snake plants are known for being low light tolerant but they won’t grow in that condition, so I recommend bright indirect light in a window, not a dark corner. Wait until the soil is completely dry to water

I moved my plant outside and it seems to be thriving better than it did indoors. I think I was over watering it

Thank you, I moved into smaller pots and broke them into different pots
