Hello I have this snake plant but the leaves are brown and a few dying at the bottom. I am watering it as scheduled any tips?

Hello! Have you been checking to see if they are dry with a stick or your finger before watering even with the schedule? Also, how much sun do they get?

I like to use a chopstick. Don’t water until the bottom of the pot/stick is completely dry.

Use snooze on app until it is dry and ready.

I’m NO expert but it could be a fungal infection. One of mine did the same thing.

I removed all the ugly parts (even the root, if necessary) and she began to thrive.

Hope this helps!

I agree, that might be it. If they are also getting enough sun you are definitely caring for them right and it could for sure be a fungal infection, especially with the placement of the damage
