Hi! I have a snake plant that recently had a lot of water in the bottom of the bowl. I repotted it and used a succulent Cati mix, I wanted to know how I should take care of it and if too much water was the issue? Thank you! 😊 she looks so sad ☹️

What’s the potting situation is there drainage?

#### Bluesky replied on 2026-11-04

Yes it has drainage now but the previous pot it came in did not! The water would stay in the second container.

Sounds like the right potting mix, but be sure there’s drainage in the pot. Before watering, stick your finger into the soil. If it’s damp, do not water. Only water when the soil is dry. Keep it near a window - they like a lot of light! Good luck!

Yes I definitely will! Thank you so much 😊

If it was waterlogged before, did you check for root rot before repotting?
