  1. Thank you for the great information. It was very helpful as I was looking for help with my snake plant.

    Oddly enough, it was the misuse of a word that compelled me to click to come to your web site. 🙂 Please check the definition of the word ‘kosher.’ You have used it as meaning something negative, which is totally opposite of the word’s definition, which means fit, proper, and legitimate. This is a positive!

    When I saw the first lines of your answer I did a double take because it made absolutely no sense that if a plant was having a problem, it was due to a positive thing (kosher).

    Thanks again for the great kosher information you provided!

    1. Hey,
      Thanks for taking out time to help us improve.
      It might have been an error on my part and I have fixed the same.
      Thanks and have a good day!

  2. Hello I want to thank you for the article I have been growing snake plants for many years and yes they are a very forgiving plant but I have a question.. where I live it has rained more than I can ever remember this time of year recently. And I had been separating my largest mother-in-law tongue plants and they were repotted but it has rained unexpectedly so much I am now scared that they are not going to dry out as soon as it would be best for them to survive. I have not had them in terracotta pots which would be best. I don’t have large enough terracotta pots for the largest of the plants to go into what can I do now besides repotting them and putting fresh dry soil into them to hopefully save them because they also are drooping.. I hope to get a reply from you as soon as possible thank you so much.

    1. You’re very welcome, and it sounds like you’ve been giving your snake plants a lot of love! Since they’ve had so much unexpected rain, the key now is to help the soil dry out and prevent root rot. If repotting into dry soil isn’t an option right away, here are a few things you can do:

      Move the pots to the driest, brightest spot you have (but avoid harsh direct sun if they’re stressed).
      Tip the pots slightly to let excess water drain out.
      If possible, carefully remove just the top layer of soggy soil and replace it with dry, well-draining mix.
      Make sure there’s good airflow around the plants to help the soil dry faster.
      If you notice mushy or smelly roots later, repotting into fresh, dry soil will be the best solution. Snake plants are tough, so with some drying time, they’ll likely bounce back!
