My snake plant seems to be doing great, but there is one bad leaf. What should I do with it?

I would just pluck the bad leaf off and make sure you’re only watering once a month

Pluck as in try to pull it off/out?

Yes

I have the same issue with my snake plant! Seems happy \& healthy, but then one leaf will randomly get a spot on it and then wither. 🤷 Yours is beautiful tho btw! 🤩

### plantgeek commented on 2026-05-16

could just be an old leaf 🤷‍♂️ sometimes leaves get too old and stop being as productive so the plant just kills them.

Pull it out or cut it. The rest of the plant looks so great!
