Whatβs wrong with my snake plant ?! π©π₯Ί
So I repotted my silver snake plant today.. and I noticed itβs got a spot and itβs kinda mushy (only in the one spot) .. did I maybe over water ? It was in a glazed pot which maybe was keeping it wet for too longβ¦ but I just repotted in a 20 in terracotta because it was root bound. Iβm assuming the cause itβs overwatering so if I donβt water it for a while & since I switched it to a more pourous option will it be okay? #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #repot overwatering">#overwatering #question

@TheConservator really? Iβm surprised because for one, Itβs under a screened in porch & for two I donβt typically move them anywhere and I donβt know what couldβve hit it. You know, cause itβs in a pretty tucked in spot & the only thing thatβs beside it is another snake plant & I have them arranged to where they wonβt hit each other with their leaves. I just figured it has something to do with overwatering because it was staying moist in the glazed pot and also it was kinda mushy and soft and almost like translucent in color, but not completely so I honestly just figured it was something of that nature because Iβve never had anything like that show up on my snake plants before.
@TheConservator well okay , interesting like you said I was pretty surprised cause I do keep very good care of plants . Thank you
Theres always second opinions out thereπ€·ββοΈ. Ofc its just a guess for me, but i just dont see what else it could be except it got burned there from something? Crystal ornaments hanging in windows or reflection of some kind. No matter what the cause its not anything you can do to fix it though that i see π€·ββοΈ
I agree with @TheConservator that it seems very unlikely to be overwatering because it wouldnβt only affect that random spot. Is it possible that it was in a sunny spot and that area was hit by the sun hard or οΏΌsomehow retained some moisture on it causing sun damage on that spot? That has happened to a couple of my plants over the summer.
It could be a combination of things - mushy leaves definitely point to over watering, but the brown spot could have been caused by a sun burn or some other type of trauma to the area. Keep an eye on it to see if it increases, and hold off on watering for a while. Snake plants are hardy, so it should be fine, but if you notice the spot start to increase Iβd cut the leaf just to be safe.
@Lynsplants I have them in a screened in porch so itβs filtered direct light. They have never had any issues before, and I have all of four them outside in the same spot, and none of the others have had any issues.
You may be able to cut it off then cut the tip and propagate it also
