I've had my Sansevieria trifasciata for about eight months now and I'm still not entirely sure how often to water it. I know they're drought-tolerant, but mine looked a bit pale last month so I watered more frequently and it actually perked up. Now I'm worried I'll overdo it and cause root rot. Has anyone else struggled with finding that sweet spot? I'd love to know what works for your snake plants in a tropical climate like mine.
