Just had a moment of panic when I noticed my snake plant's leaves looking a bit pale—turns out I was watering it way too much! I read that they actually prefer to dry out between waterings, so I've backed off big time. A few weeks later and it's looking so much greener already. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering theirs? I'm still learning what "let the soil dry out" actually means in practice.
