How often should snake plant be watered? Planta reminds me often and I find myself skipping when it does because the soil is still moist.

When the soil is bone dry.  
Pot size and soil dependent. If you’re trying to go on a cycle prob close to 1x/mo depending on pot size and soil.

I’m glad you’re actually feeling your soil and not watering only because the abscess so… I skip or snooze watering tasks quite often. Yes just wait until it’s dry and then water it. I also use bamboo skewers to gently put to the bottom of my pot to make sure the bottom of the soil is actually not wet.

Good idea

Also, make sure all of your plant information is accurate on the app. It gauges your routine based on the information (size, pot type, soil drainage, etc.).
