Indoor Gardening and Houseplants: new life for an old snake plant, 1 by Kelli

Try cutting one or two of the older leaves off of each plant. When it was repotted, roots might have been damaged and now the plant doesn't have enough of a root system to support all the leaves. That's my guess, anyway, and it won't hurt to do that.

What I read says that snake plants come from a climate with wet summers and dry winters. I have three clumps of snake plant. One is in the house in a darkish room but it does get bright morning sun through the gaps in the Venician blinds. We watch t.v. in that room, so it gets some artificial light when there is a Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, or Angels game on t.v. :-) That plant gets watered every other week, approximately. Another clump is on the back porch. It gets bright light all day and some full sun in the evening. That clump gets watered once a week in the summer and once a month in the winter. The third clump is planted in the ground. It gets pretty much full sun in the winter and dappled shade in the summer. I water it once a week in the summer if I remember and in the winter, it fends for itself. (We have dry summers and when we get rain, it is in the winter.) The clump on the porch is the most vigorous. I thinned it two or three years ago and it needs it again.

Here is a mundane picture of the plant in the house.
