# My snake plant has a “bend” in me of the “stalks/leaves” and I did…

My snake plant has a “bend” in me of the “stalks/leaves” and I did not want to cut it. The leaves are also “ dusty” - is this normal? Should I cut the bent leaf or just leave it? Should I wipe off the leaves?  
I am a Plant Virgin and just trying to keep Dylan and Liam (my plants) alive.

Cut or leave it is your preference, plants get dusty just like anything else in your house. I wipe mine down with a mix of water a few tablespoons of neem oil and a squirt of isopropanol alcohol

Yes wipe all the leaves off every 3 months or more if needed. And i would cut the leaf at the bend so the plant doesn't use its energy trying to fix something that can't be fixed. It will direct its energy on giving you more leaves. But yeah its really whatever you want. I just personally would. It's going to end up dying eventually anyways...
