Overwatering Snake plants are drought-tolerant and don’t need frequent watering. Too much water can lead to root rot, causing the leaves to droop.
Underwatering While they can survive in dry conditions, prolonged neglect can make the plant dehydrated, resulting in limp, droopy leaves.
Poor Drainage A pot without drainage holes can trap water, soaking the roots and weakening the plant’s structure. Always ensure proper drainage.
Low Light Conditions Snake plants prefer bright, indirect light. Prolonged exposure to low light can cause their leaves to lose firmness and droop.
Temperature Stress Extreme cold or sudden temperature changes can stress the plant, leading to drooping leaves. Keep it in a stable, warm environment.
Pest Infestations Pests like spider mites or mealybugs can sap nutrients from the plant, weakening it and causing the leaves to sag.
Nutrient Deficiency Lack of essential nutrients in the soil can prevent the plant from thriving, making its leaves droop. Fertilize occasionally with a balanced mix.
