So I have this snake plant that seems to not be doing well and I have no idea what to do. I’ve been watering it and everything I could think of and it still seems to not be growing.

    I would re-pot that in some well draining soil, you could use a cactus/succulent mix. Make sure the plant is closer to the top so that the edges of the pot are not obstructing the light. Give it lots of bright light and water infrequently 👍🏻

    I think that baby needs a smaller pot water really well one time and then let it almost dry out put it in front of a nice window or under a grow light. I used to have a hard time with snake plant because I would overwater them and then underwater them so I separated one plant into four and I treated them all four different ways. Two of them are thriving. One grew a whole new baby off of it and it’s probably grown 9 inches in a month and a half, and now that one has babies . I used barking that one. The only other one that’s doing good. I used Leica With and I think it loves Lake of the root system is doing really well. It hasn’t shot me out any new babies yet but it looks healthier and I think it will get babies soon. One of the other ones was in soil and that one hasn’t changed at all since I put it in.
