I finally figured out why my snake plant was so unhappy—I was watering it way too much! Turns out Sansevieria trifasciata really does prefer to dry out completely between waterings, even more than I thought. Now I'm watering maybe once a month and it's already looking perkier. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering these? I'm curious if I'm still doing something wrong since I only have four plants and I'm still learning what each one actually needs.
