My snake plant I think has root rot

I water my snake plant 4.5 cups roughly every 2 weeks. I pulled out some big leaves with soggy discolored base
It does! Snake plants want water every month, not every 2 weeks.
Oeff, yeah that rotting.
You should definitely get it out of the soil and check what's still savable.

If you are lucky the plant will still have a healthy base and maybe some roots.
Rinse well with water before checking and then cut off all the rotten/brown/mush/dead roots. And if the base of the plant also has rot, cut that off too!

Then spray with hydrogen peroxide and repot in some clean dry soil.
Wait about a week before watering again. Then only water when soil has been completely dry for a couple of days, always check the soil before watering!!

Good luck!
