My cats shredded mine at the tips but it recovered pretty fast. I kept it out of direct sun. Good luck! #### Rhus님이 2025-04-03에 답변했습니다. Ooh also I think they don't like to be over watered... Snake plants definitely benefit from benign neglect. Its pot might be a little too big, depending on the size of the root situation. #### itsmaryk님이 2025-04-03에 답변했습니다. oh yes i learned that when i killed my sisters lol. i was thinking the pot may be to big but it was the only open one i had at the time of repotting everything! i will def keep it out of sunlight \& water less. ### Phil님이 2025-04-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. The brown tip is probably from being in the sun without being acclimated to it. The soil looks wrong for a snake plant. They are succulents and need high grit, fast draining soil. Soil needs to be totally dry before thoroughly watering until water exits the drain hole. Sansevieria can be acclimated to morning sun. People say they do well in low light. No, they do not. They may kinda live but will not thrive. Not sure I really answered your question but hopefully I helped with how to care for them. I have several sansevieria. Pic is just a few. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/PH6OpxknRi6pHlxty21cOA.webp?size=large) #### itsmaryk님이 2025-04-03에 답변했습니다. i'll have to check what soil i have, it's the same in all my pots - but if i have to change it for this one particularly, i most def will. i don't want to lose my plant, they've become my other children lol. that does help! i did have it in the sun, but like i said the cats where getting my other ones \& i didn't want them going to the bathroom in my plants either. what soil do you recommend mostly for snake plants? #### Phil님이 2025-04-05에 답변했습니다. You need to add “grit” to your regular potting soil. It can be something as cheap as perlite. Look up “diy succulent soil” online. You’ll probably fine several recipes. Pick the one for your supplies and budget. I use a product called Jacks Gritty Mix. It’s well known. I mix that with regular potting soil. Ratio depends on plant. For sansevieria I would do 1 to 1. It’s available at Amazon but cheaper if you buy directly. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
