Snake plants- the plants that will love you if you forget they’re there. It’s been 2 and a half months since I last watered this one. Snake plant are the plants that I always recommend if you are first starting with plants because they come in so many shapes and sizes. If you are having issues with it, ensure that you’re checking the soil (I use a skewer stick or chopstick) for moisture. Neglect it and then when you decide to water, wait another week, and then water throughly!

i asked in another post of yours but since this post is more recent i'll ask again. how do you get your snake plant to spread out like yours is? mine grows is an odd diagonal, fan-like shape. i've recently moved it out of dirt and into water so more oxygen could get into the roots (they weren't doing to great) but i would like to be able to move it back to dirt eventually. (edited to fix typos)

I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but I just watched a bunch of your shorts yesterday and INSTANTLY because obsessed with your videos! I made sure to subscribe and I’m so glad I did! I’m actually kinda spooked (in a good way lol) that you just put out a snake plant short because I was searching through your other shorts for snake plant help! Yesterday, I was dusting my fiddle leaf tree and my elbow knocked over my snake plant and it + the soil went EVERYWHERE. I’m glad it happened though because it brought some issues to my attention that I wouldn’t have noticed. Can you please, please, please help me!!!! 😭😫 1.) Description of my Snake Plant: -It was given to me around a year ago by a friend who propagated it indoors and I also keep it indoors. She gave it to me in a small plastic nursery pot, but after about 6 months of owning it I put it in a slightly larger 6in clay pot because it was getting too heavy and kept falling over. The leaves seemed fine and were and still are completely green with no yellow or brown spots anywhere. I do not overwater it as I wait around 1-2 months between watering. It seems as it is growing (slowly) and I’ve even noticed 2 new babies sprouting which makes a total of 5 leaves now! 🥳 2.) My problems since yesterdays fiasco: -When I knocked over my snake plant, it instantly separated from the soil. My soul was extremely dry because I hadn’t watered it in a while, but apparently the root system was sitting only 1.5-2in below the top of the soil. The root was decently thick and a healthy white color, BUT it had almost no little roots coming off of it like yours did in previous shorts. There was no matted roots I had to separate as there just weren’t many… roots. I washed dipped the roots in water to clean them and let it soak for around 15 minutes as I hadn’t watered it in about a month while I propane’s a new mixture of potting soil and perlite. After I got the soil mixture together, I sprinkled rooting powder on the roots of the snake plant and buried it deeper within the soil this time. Fast forward to this morning, my snake plant’s leaves are no longer straight and really wavy. I don’t know if it’s just shocked from yesterday and needs a while to recover, or if it’s too cold in my second floor bedroom, or what?!?! I hope you see this and can give me some insight to my problems + help me grow it even stronger! Thank you!!!!! 😊

My first snake plant bloom 🥰 I never expected this because I'm aware I'm over watering it and it's not in optimal conditions.

One of my snake plants was gigantic, but it grew lobsided and I wanted to repot it so that it was straight again. But before I would do that, I wanted to let the soil dry out to prevent root rot from damaged roots from the repot. And then I procrastinated that for 4 months and only then repotted it and watered a week later after the roots could heal. And it's perfectly fine, only one leaf was floppy but that's back too. So yeah...
