Snake plant issue

[barbis9]

I was told a snake plant was easy to maintain. However the leaves/stems are falling down. What am I doing wrong?

Is it too much water? if so, how often do you water them. Would Miracle Grow help?

Do I need to start talking to it

What's the sun situation where your plant is kept?

Sounds like overwatering if they are falling over. I believe they need very little water so only water when they first few inches of soil are totally dry. When you water it you should deep water so runs through drainage hole which you should have in your container. It’s like my orchid, I water it once in a whore but only a few tablespoons at that time.

@harbie thank you! I think I do overwater it, and since its in a large container, I don't think its' properly draining.
I'm going to ignore it and keep my fingers crossed.

The problem about "easy plants" is that it is according to avid plant parents. It means that you can leave it alone for weeks. But newbies tend to mess with the plant every day. Therefore the most common plant problem is overwatering. You only need to water every few weeks.
