# I got this snake plant over-watered and dying a slow death from Home…

_Posted by Mid-Life Plant Mamma on 2026-08-19_

I got this snake plant over-watered and dying a slow death from Home Depot a few months ago. I let him dry out, decided he’s made it long enough to earn a permanent pot and gave him a name. His roots were half rotten, he was feeling a little squishy but Sir Hiss has prevailed with some much needed TLC. When I nudged the clump of soil over to lay flat I saw what made it stick up in the first place.

My baby is having a baby!!
