@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel 10 месяцев назад
If the young leaves are dying in the soil it's a combination of the snake plants being buried too low in the soil (you can just remove the topsoil until your roots are just barely underground). And then you might be overwatering if your new growth is dying because it's too wet in the soil. I can't fully tell without pictures but that's what it sounds like is happening... 😊

@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
Yes I've seen the ads for this app as well. I would never encourage adding anything from your kitchen other than cinnamon. All this milk, banana peels, etc. can actually cause bacterial and fungal issues in your soil (because it isn't composted yet, so food scraps naturally need these bacteria to break down the nutrients for the plants). So just be careful when you see these "miracle fixes" lol! I should do a test video with all these "hacks" haha!

Can I use a regular general use indoor plant soil? I've added a product called lava lite to the base of the terracotta pots, it's like little white pebbles. It's supposed to be for moisture control I have the tips of my leaves curling in. I think they got too much sunlight on the window. Apologies for the rambling comment lol
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel 11 месяцев назад
It sounds like lava lite is like a perlite? If so then it should be mixed throughout the soil and not just placed at the bottom. You can use general indoor plant soil if there is enough drainage that it dries out every week or so. If your soil stays in the "wet" range for more than a week then it could cause root rot. And problems with the leaf tips is usually humidity related, which being in hot, direct sunlight indoors could dry it out too much so you're probably right there... Good luck! 😊

I also had it in a big pot where my hand could fit from the rim to plant. My room probably not the best place for it. Even though it has great lighting it tends to be very cool. I really want to keep it indoors, but for now I will be moving it to my balcony, hopefully it will do better out there. I have lost a couple leaves from the sagging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I recently got snake plant about 6 month's ago. It did have a bit of damage and the company said it would be fine and fix itself. I gave it water for the 2nd time and where it was damaged bent over. So upset over that. I did cut a small piece off and it in water so I'm hoping it roots good. Hopefully I can save something from piece. There is a 2 inch piece still sticking out of the soil thats good and healthy. So I hope she keeps growing.

Can I use fertilizer which is used for crops in my indoor plants like snake plants, arrowhead plant,iron cast plants?
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
The main problem with crop fertilizer is it is usually a lot stronger than indoor plant fertilizer (for several different reasons). It's sometimes also less composted (aka smells worse) than indoor fertilizers. It is possible to use it, but make sure that you do some calculations to dilute it to about a 5 or less. Most indoor fertilizers are somewhere between a strength of 1 to 3 for each of the compounds. Hope this helps!

@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
It most likely won't ever straighten up. If it's sagging, then it's either got root rot at some point, or it has been damaged. Unless it's just a root problem as in it doesn't have enough roots yet holding it up. Then you just need to stake it up until it's grown enough roots. 😊

If it's a fungal spot, the only thing you can do is spray with a fungicide. The brown spots won't go away (unless it's a rust) because the tissue is already dead, but it should stop the spread and you can trim off the parts that are affected. Make sure to disinfect your tools and keep the soil on the dry side. Hope this helps! ☺️

I have the same type of snake plant as in your excellent video. I got it two years ago. It came in a 9.25 inch growers pot which I transplanted into a 12" clay pot w/succulent soil(Espoma). Plant has been doing great and getting new leaves until today. One of the largest leaves developed brown, wet spots and there was some yellowish discoloration as well. I removed the leaf but I saw online that brown spots that were wet indicated underwatering! I had watered this plant 8 days prior and the soil is checked before I water ever water it. Any suggestions? Thanks for the video!
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
Hi Daniel! Sounds like overwatering issues to me. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean by "wet spots". But since you've had it for years and it's just now giving you problems, I would check out the soil. See if there is excess water at the bottom, or maybe dry pockets in the rootball. Or maybe any dying roots... I hope this gives you somewhere to start!
@BullieDad100
@BullieDad100 Год назад
Thanks so much for the advice! The brown spots are wet. I think the leaf is compromised at those points and plant juices are leaking out. Weird, the rest oft he plant looks great. It has since occurred to me that I have been using water from a local greenhouse. The greenhouse is built over a well and with this well water they add a very diluted fertilizer. They use this to water for their plants and allow customers to bring in containers and take this water home to use. They advertise it as safe to use every watering. I wonder if despite being diluted, the fertilizer may have been a cause?? Thanks again. You have a new subscriber in me.😊

In the summer if you don't have high humidity, then keep them away from south facing windows. East or west could be fine as long as it doesn't get too hot in the afternoons. In winter you can place them in more sun because it won't be as hot. If they are a dry crispy brown, then you are either not watering them enough or they are in too much sun (or both). If it gets a dark mushy brown then it is too much water & not enough light. Hope that helps! 😊

I have a theory that the soil it came in is poor quality or too tightly packed tgt as she has always been fussy when she has a drink and gets a bit waterlogged even when I leave her to dry thoroughly.

Hi Denise! There can be some natural leaf drop of older leaves in new environments especially, but it can also be a sign of stress. I would follow your gut and check out the soil. Maybe repot her in some fresh soil (cactus and succulent type soils are best for indoor snake plants). And yes, cutting off the leaf is fine. Sounds like you're on the right track. Just keep an eye out for any more yellowing leaves! 👀

@@davida9604 yes, but the bacteria usually survive in the overly saturated environment. Root rot, for example does not come because the roots are in too much water (since most plants can grow in straight water), but it comes because the overly wet soil breeds bacteria that then causes infections.

Thanks for the tips, but I'm ready to give up on snake plants forever. I hardly ever water any of mine and look happy, but as soon as I give them even 1 drip of water - a few leaves will turn to mush and flop over. I've tried repotting and different water sources. I'm stumped.
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel 7 месяцев назад
Do they have enough light? The more light they are in, the more water they can take in. As long as they don't get a sunburn. Then make sure you don't let your plants dry out too much or the roots will start shriveling up. Then any water will sit in the soil because it doesn't have any roots left to soak up the water. And then make sure you have a cacti and succulent soil mix with a pot with drainage holes. Maybe even a ceramic pot if you're worried about overwatering. I hope one of those tips is the key to your success! 😊

I just proprogated a snake plant leaf into a small clay pot and only water when completely dry. It grew 3 leaves. Now the biggest leaf (original leaf) tip has turned yellow 😮. Not sure if I am under watering it or overwatering 🤷🏽‍♀️? It gets indirect light. Should I cut off the tip? Help!
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
It's hard to tell without seeing it, but is it mushy? Or crinkled? Mushy is overwatered and crinkled/wrinkled is underwatered. I would also check your water supply. Sometimes high levels of chlorine from tap water can cause leaf tips to turn yellow as well... I hope this helps! 😊

Can the plant get too big and tall where the leaves can't hold themselves up anymore? I have 2 snake plants, all healthy but one has one leaf that is a tall leaf now falling over. And what do you do when they do grow so tall? Can you cut them back?
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel 7 месяцев назад
You can cut them back but they will always have a brown ridge on the cut like a scar. Usually if it's falling over it either doesn't have enough roots to hold it up, or there could be rot at the base, or it could be stretching for more light. I'd inspect your plant and see which one of these is going on for your plant. 😊

Hello. Both my snake plants are bright green, but squishy and drooping. Some tips are brown and a little crunchy. It sounds like they are both over watered and under watered?
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
The brown tips aren't deadly to your plants. They're usually a sign of low humidity which is typical indoors. Squishy though... I would cut out the overwatered squishy sections and propagate the healthy sections. Good luck!

I would like some advice if possible. I own a snake Laurentii that I’ve had for about a year, that just came out of the winter seasons since it’s now Spring here. Over the winter, my snake’s leaves became shriveled and wrinkled from I think maybe cold shock? I kept my plants in my room all winter in the corner away from my window with grow lights and warmth but my snake’s leaves still became shriveled and drooped. I watered them as recommended all winter. I’ve recently repotted them in fresh soil about a month ago, checked their roots for root rot but didn’t find any. I did remove a few roots that were a bit shriveled and kinda grayish. Overall, the roots seemed fine. I had to cut off a few leaves that were broken and drooping with brown areas. I’m giving them some indirect bright light, placing outside during the day with some shade and hoping new growth comes and my little guy recovers. I’m just worried they might die. I can only wait around and see
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
Yes it sounds like either cold damage or overwatered. The signs are very similar. Just make sure you are letting the soil lightly dry between watering. And as long as you had good roots, then you should eventually have new growth come up. So unfortunately it's just a waiting game now. Good luck! 😊

Anything for senior plants adults plants that don't require very much, growing so big you just want to male offsets to give as gifts? It tends to like forcing as far as a little low intake in winter of water and food. This fixed my orchid cactus as well that is an old girl and refuses to bloom where kt os now in a different house.

Unfortunately any frozen sections will not recover. I would cut these sections off and see if the root system was saved or if it froze too... (Is it squishy too?) If the root system didn't freeze then your plant might be able to recover. Sorry I don't have better news. 😮‍💨

Hi! So the cracking leaves with the slow growth means he's probably wanting a bit more humidity, as well as more light. You give him both of those and he'll start really taking off for you! ☺️

My snake plant was a gift that came in the mail about a month ago. I keep it indoors. It now has a couple of leaves that are turning yellow and a couple with crisp brown tips. I have not watered it because it has not dried out hardly at all. There is virtually no room around the outer edge for any fingers. Should i divide it into 2 plants? Or go ahead and water it? Im beside myself because i really want this to thrive. Can you help me?
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
Hi Debbie! So if you've had it for about a month and it still hasn't dried out, then the yellow leaves are from overwatering (aka the soil being wet for too long). You can change this by either repotting with a lighter soil (cactus and succulent soil and perlite), or you can increase the temperature or light so your plant will dry out faster. I wouldn't worry about a larger pot or splitting it until you get the moisture under control. 😊

I really really really wish many people would stop with the "root bound" myth. No plant likes to be root bound. Plants what to be in a pot that's the proper size for their roots at the time and it's our job to make that happen for them. Snake plants cluster to stabilize themselves, as their roots develop to hold them in place. If anything I'd say to people pot for the size of the roots, not for the size of the foliage.
@thegirlwithashovel
@thegirlwithashovel Год назад
I agree. When I say it likes to get slightly rootbound, I really mean they like to have enough roots that it holds them in the pot! Haha! But yes, people do need to pot according to the size and amount of roots, NOT the size of the foliage! ☺️

I'm not sure what situation you are talking about. If it's in soil or if it's in water. If it's in water (I'm assuming), I would look at the end of the leaf and make sure it isn't rotting. But as long as it has a good edge on it, then I'd say just wait. These guys can sometimes take a few months to finally put out some roots.

If the leaves are damaged (instead of just dried out) then they won't recover. But as you have healthy new growth you can slowly cut out any damaged leaves. 🙃

Can someone help? For a year, my snake has been in a pot that was too large. Its very tall and was always leaning and separating. (Like in the video) The roots are not very extensive (like in the video) but does have new babies. I finally repotted her yesterday into a smaller pot. But think i can go even smaller....deeper?? I tried to bunch them together while trying to back fill the pot. How much deeper on the blades can I plant her to support its own weight? Orrrr should I prop in a vase with a bit of water? I have plant velcro around it right now. Thank you.
