Moved house and it hated it. was thriving before…. bursting out its pot having multiple babies growing amazingly….. Started as a little 3 pointer years ago, Watered roughly once a month ish (bottom watered when leaves were less firm than usual) ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I didn’t change anything – It got a bit colder but has always been on a windowsill. Moved away in case it had gotten sun scorched but seems to be too late for my little fellow… Can I save it??

You could try cutting the very tip off of the remaining green part (on the ground bottom right) and propagate it in a cup of water. If it grows roots you can stick back into a new pot with fresh medium.
how does one reach this level of snake plant wtf 😠some tips:
1. Cut off all the dead leaves (if possible) – If a leaf is totally brown and soft, cut it off.
2. Take it out of the pot – Gently remove the plant and check the roots.
3. Check the roots – Good roots are white/yellow and firm. – Bad roots are black, soft, or smelly—cut those off.
4. Repot it – Use dry, fresh cactus/succulent soil. – Make sure the pot drains well (has holes!).
5. Don’t water right away – Let the plant rest in dry soil for a few days before watering.
6. Put it somewhere warm with soft light – Not too cold, and avoid strong sun for now.
7. Water only when the soil is 100% dry – In winter, that might mean watering once every 3–4 weeks.
That is unfortunately a former plant
Yeah
It’s dead jim. Definitely will want to start over. If you start to see it going like that, cut off some healthy part to prop or repot and see what kind of roots you’re looking at. This was either severely underwatered or overwatered and got root rot. I will say that this was on the decline for a while now if it has gotten to that point. I would get a moisture meter to check before watering one of these guys in the future. When you water, make sure to water thoroughly until the water runs out the bottom but it doesn’t need it very often, as in wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Sometimes it’s once a month, sometimes is longer. They can handle little sun and a lot of sun, but the change in temp will affect how often to water. It’s possible there was a pest as well. Or when it got colder the local temp by the windowsill must have been pretty dramatic.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fully dead plant on here before this
It’s gone lmao
No there’s still hope just keep watering it a lot
