My snake plant is growing an arm. At first I thought, maybe it could be a flower? A few months later, BAM! It has a long tentacle with very sharp tips! Anybody have a clue as to what is happening to my lovely Makossa? #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #HappyPlants #Sansevieria #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #sansevieriafrancisii

I have a snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) that I keep in a plastic nursery pot placed inside a woven basket, with LECA balls on top for drainage. Recently, Iāve noticed that some of the leaves are curling slightly. The plant usually lives in my bedroom where it gets indirect light, but Iāve started placing it in the corridor for 2ā4 hours of brighter natural light daily. I bought the plant on 21.08.25, and it was last watered on that day. I touched the soil today and it still feels humid, not dry, so Iām unsure whether I should water it tomorrow (27.08.25) or wait longer. Does the plant look healthy overall, or should I adjust my care routine? Any tips for preventing or fixing curling leaves would be amazing! #snakeplant #Sansevieria

Can she survive? My sansevieria tornado has been looking bad lately. So I took her out of her terra Cotta pot and checked her roots. They look rather dry, which makes sense. I've been scared to water as much in the winter, as I've lost some of my succulents due to overwatering. I pulled some yellowing leaves off, and found brown areas. So far, I've sprayed some antifungal in it and am letting her dry. I will put her back in soil and give her a good bottom water. But is there a point? Can she survive this? #sansevieria #succulentsquad #succulentlove #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

Happy #succulentsaturday ! I got to pot a lot of my plants from my order, last night! Iām so happy with them! They all are healthy & beautiful! 1. Ruby necklace, & a new pot that my grandma got for my birthday. Itās so unique! I want to put something in the other holes, but havenāt quite figured out what yet. 2. My hybrid of some sort, not sure what kind yet. 3. Graptoveria Titubans, this was the only single I ordered, (I ordered three mystery sets) and specifically picked this one because Iāve had my eye on it for a while. I canāt wait till the variegation starts showing! 4. New frog friend I found last night, on my lamp, he watched me plant my succulents ššø pretty sure he is a tree frog, his eyes are super cool. (This isnāt the same frog I posted about a couple days ago, in my succulent arrangement pot, he moved out sadly after two days lol). 5. My boyfriend took me out to a couple plant shops today since he worked on my birthday, and got me a wishlist plant Iāve been looking for. A Moonshine Sansevieria! It also was a great deal since I got it for 10$! Itās a good size & healthy. šŖ“ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #Sansevieria #repotting #Graptoveria #FrogsOfGreg #PlantLove #PlantHaul

I just bought and repotted this guy and noticed the little growth at the bottom in the process. Any ideas as to what it could be? #SnakePlant #Dracaena

For my first #FreshLeafFriday in a long time, Iām featuring my #Sansevieria #ZeylanicaSnakePlant siblings. Kaladin and Shallan Davar. Theyāre itty bitty and curled up, but theyāre there! Gotta love confirmation that your plant is doing just fine, especially since the leaves trying to sprout before the repot shriveled and died!

#PlantMail #Sansevieria #SansevieriaSaturday #Peperomia #ElephantBush #PortulacariaAfraMedioPicta #RubyCascade When you have a large family, and you have to feed them, you shop where itās most affordable, but you get WalMart cash in the process. So itās basically like getting plants for free for momming. š This is supposed to be a Robusta Black Sansevieria, but it doesnāt look as dark as it should? I dunno. The Medio Picto is PERFECT. I wanted it to be small and tiny to grow it up the way I want it to look and since they grow so slow I have the perfect pot for it š. And they didnāt have any 4ā Ruby cascades in stock, but they did have a 2 pack of 2ā pots⦠for almost half of what I would have spent on the 4ā. So thatās cool. Also, anyone else have issues with posting where it spells a word out double but the secondsecod word isnāt quite rightriht? ⬠ļøā¬ ļø Like this? #itrunsinthefamily #MommingHardatWalMart #PlantMathisLikeGirlDinner

Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday Eve! Yesterday was #PlantMail Monday for me. Took a chance on ordering this little Sansevieria Moonshine off of Amazon from a seller I wasnāt familiar with, but ratings were good. Arrived in good condition yesterday. Hope to get it potted up, named, and added to my oasis this weekend. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy, #SucculentSquad , #SucculentLove , #Sansevieria
