Question, so I have a moonshine snake plant and was wondering if I’m maybe under watering?? So I have it in bright indirect light about a few feet away from an east facing window. It’s in a room that gets AC and a ceiling fan, but the vents aren’t directly on the plant. It’s in a terracotta pot with drainage and a very very chunky mix of 60% orchid bark, 20% perlite and 20% cactus succulent soil. I currently water it about once a month if not longer in between, and there was a small bottom leaf that got crunchy that I pulled off during my last watering and this leaf seems to be getting a lighter tinge of green. What do? 🧐

    Once a month doesn’t sound like enough to me. I have a few snake plants and I know I water them more than that.

    I just checked and the one I have in the same pot as yours says to water every 8 days and a dry crunchy leaf is not normal

    I wouldn’t be watering every eight days, but with soil that chunky in that small of a terra cotta pot, it probably does need watering slightly more often.

      Yeahhhh, I was thinking that was a little much, I’ll definitely water it more though lol, like every two weeks maybe
