Got home from being out of town for 3 weeks and my snake plant had a leaf that withered and was able to easily be plucked out. Then today I went to water it and realized it had an ant infestation đ« So I was planning on repotting it got all new soil etc. now Iâm thinking it also has root rot??? It gets direct sunlight for 3-6 hours a day and I water it once every 3 weeks.

Hard to see the details in the photos but sanseveria have orange roots that are commonly mistaken to be rotten. As long as theyâre not mushy or crispy theyâre probably fine. Root rot tends to smell really bad, too.
Those roots are completely normal dude.
Not at all
Nope, perfectly fine. Healthy roots can be any color. They’re only rotten if they’re squishy or slimy.Â
