# Snake plant lovers, this is my snake plant, one I dearly love! I’ve…

_Posted by Lynda on 2025-03-13_

Snake plant lovers, this is my snake plant, one I dearly love! I’ve posted a picture of what I prefer her to look like, another picture of what she looks like right now, (with a tape on), and a final picture of her, showing the base of her; it shows the part of the plant which keeps falling over. Is it possible to add more dirt to the base of this plant, to make her stems stand upright, so this stem doesn’t fall over anymore?  
Any suggestions will really be appreciated!

I have the same issue. I put rocks on top of soil. Helps a little. And i wrap leaves like you did

WOW! How old is your snake plant? It is HUGE, and very pretty! TIA!

#### Lynda replied on 2025-03-13

PS. I forgot to mention, rocks are a great idea! I have some on hand and will do that post haste!

### c.cat commented on 2025-03-13

you could also probably also repot if you havent in a while, and plant that one guy a little deeper! good luck!

#### Lynda replied on 2025-03-13

Will a problem like root rot, arise, if I repot this, and plant it further into the soil? TIA!

#### c.cat replied on 2025-03-13

i dont think so? it looks like there are some roots on the surface of the soil anyways, so i think it will be ok

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-03-13

I just wouldn't bury it past any leaf sections, to avoid they rotting. The rock idea is a good option, especially if it was light, like a lava, leca or pumice

Now that I’ve caught you, would you mind sharing the suppliers of your DIY pon mix? I have researched Amazon, and have some substrates in my cart, but you being the “mother God of all plants” might have some better ideas than I do…🤔! I know this is really an imposition; if you’d rather not take the time to do this, I would totally understand. TXS for whatever you decide to do!

Lol I wouldn't go that far. So perlite, the Avalution lava rock mix,

This is the pumice, I get at the hardware store. I try to find the bigger size

And then the fluval stratum.

This post? I was saying the Planta PNW Facebook group. Or on Blossm app under the same name.

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-03-21

I'll post in a bit about the parts, just finishing up eating.

No rush…. enjoy din din!
