This snake plant has been through a lot. My best friend/roommate and I went through one of the hardest times of our lives together, as our apartment was almost completely gutted in a fire. My snake plant survived and is thriving, but I can’t say exactly the same for hers. We made it out okay, but this once-strong, stiff snake plant is now thinner, smaller, softer, and perhaps not long for this world.
I’d love nothing more right now than to give it another lease on life. I know the general potting soil it’s in is not ideal, and was thinking of repotting it in a succulent-focused mix.
Does anyone have any input? Similar circumstances? Ideas on what else might be the cause? Tips on repotting? I’m just terrified that once I pull it up, there will be like three roots left, and the shock will kill it for good.
I don't know anything about house plants, but I had a tree die back to the ground last year and it's already ten feet tall now. Plants are resilient. If you have any ideas as to what the actual issues are, correcting those will help the plant recover.
