Is this a goner? I made a post about it a couple days ago. I’m honestly just at a loss. Backstory Ordered it online about almost 3 weeks ago arrived in perfect condition but I live in Michigan and it was -10° so I’m guessing it was cold shock due to the weird looking ends on some of them. I watered it and then I bought a pot for it like 23 days later repotted it watered it again and it’s just been wailing ever since so obviously too much water but now there’s a bunch of brown crispy spots. It’s been about a week and a half almost 2 weeks since I watered it It is in about a 4 inch pot 1 inch bigger than the root ball As of right now, the soil is 100% completely dry What do I do?

    Sounds like you’re doing pretty much all the right things. You don’t have to, but you can cut the tips of the worst leaves off with clean scissors and cut it into a triangle-like shape so it looks more natural to the plant. Unfortunately, the leaves will not grow anymore after you cut them, but they won’t die either and will continue doing their jobs, plus this can help encourage your plant to refocus its energy on healthy new growth. If the soil is truly 100% dry then you can go ahead and water it, but it would probably also do fine if you waited a little longer to water it if you want to be safe. I’d say continue doing what you’re doing and give it as much light as possible-even though they’re low light tolerant, bright sun will maximize its growth. (That being said, if you’re moving it to bright direct light and it’s not used to that yet, spend 2 weeks slowly moving it closer to its new spot/increasing how much time it spends in that spot in order to prevent the leaves being scorched; even though they can do full sun, the leaves can still burn if the suddenly get more light than they’re used to). Sorry that happened to your plant but good luck!

    Sansevieria like to completely dry out between waterings. I like to use a wooden chopstick to check all the way at the bottom and ensure all is dry.
