rot! the soil looks good and dry — pop it out for a look at the roots. post pics here if you need help with what you find

This is what the snake plant looks like after digging it up, is this salvageable? 😭

ah yes, miss adansonii. these are sensitive to change but i do generally recommend a chunkier mix for all monstera varieties — their roots appreciate some extra oxygen.

that being said, what’s most important for adansonii is 1) high humidity, and 2) consistency. so pick a place for her — east or west facing windows are best — and keep her there.

the browning and yellowing you have almost certainly has more to do with humidity than a need for a repot

Thank you!
