I finally figured out why my snake plant wasn't growing—I was watering it way too much! Turns out Sansevieria trifasciata really does prefer to dry out between waterings, even more than I expected. I switched to watering maybe once a month and the new growth is noticeably faster. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering theirs? I'm still learning what "drought-tolerant" really means in practice.
