They are succulents so they should get bone dry between waterings. This can be caused by improper watering.

Thank you, I figured something was off with the watering, but i think ive also had a thrip issue so I wasn’t sure. Should this plant be in a terracotta pot?

#### Ezzeldin Yaqoub respondió el 2024-12-06

No it’s pot and the soil it is in should have good drainage, as in the pot should have holes at the bottom and the water should drain through the soil at a good rate.

I personally prefer sansevieria to be potted in terracotta. To me those pics show what appears to be physical damage, possibly from rubbing against something, abuse from the nursery etc etc.

I did notice a slight curling on some of the stems which could be due to being underwatered. But most definitely you should always lean on the side of less is more for a snake plant. 😊

Hmmm thank you, the curling has been there since i got it, but the damage is new :(
