How to fertilize Black Coral Snake Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Black Coral Snake Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s the best potting soil for snake plants? #Dracaena

Is Sansan healthy? I got Sansan 2 months ago. There used to be three groups here, one group expired probably of over watering since the tips turned brown and mushy, the other group turned brown black and crisp. Now, there's only one left, with a baby. I'm worried if I should just transfer the whole thing in water or keep it as is. Currently, I have no access to fertile soil. #Dracaena

Browning leaves. What's going on? #Dracaena I thought it was bruising from the store or something but it's definitely escalated. Should I remove the worst part? Is it something I may be doing or not doing to cause this?

Yellowing and crispy leaves Dracaena leaves have been gradually yellowing for about two months now—not sure what’s causing it. Can anyone identify the problem? I’m considering repotting it into a bigger pot that has a drainage hole but I’m scared of shocking the plant. #Dracaena
