I finally figured out why my snake plant was looking droopy—I was watering it way too much! I read that Sansevieria trifasciata actually prefers to dry out between waterings, so I switched to watering only every three weeks or so. It's been three months now and the new growth looks so much more upright and vibrant. Honestly feels silly that I nearly killed it with kindness, but I'm relieved it bounced back. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering theirs?
