If you are watering according to planta you may be watering too much. Snake plants are succulents so they dont need to be watered that much. Wait until the soil is completely dry or when the leaves will be a little bendy

Okay thanks! It seems like everytime I water according to planta it starts to yellow

I second that. There’s been a glitch with Planta where since the start of the growing season, the number of days it tells me to wait before watering has changed, but drastically so. It told me to water my dormant hyacinths every 2 days when looking the same plant on the ID said to only water it when there’s serious drought in your area during the summer. You can fix it by comparing the number of days for your plant to the same plant through the ID search, then going through that plant’s settings to make a custom schedule and fix the number if that turns out to be the problem. Hope this helps!

How do I make a custom schedule?

#### Adrian respondió el 2024-06-17

Go to your snake plant, then the settings (the icon in the top right corner), where it said watering and “use Planta’s schedule”, tap it or hit “use custom schedule”, then tap the warmer months option, and change it to the number of days the ID search for the snake plant is for watering

If you tap the watering task, then tap the more instructions task, Planta will tell you what the soil should feel like if it needs watered (some need completely dry soil, others need watered while still damp). I wish it just said that in the prompt lol
