A snake plant droops mainly due to improper watering—either overwatering, leading to root rot, or underwatering causing dehydration. Other common causes include poor drainage, insufficient indirect light, the plant being root bound in a small pot, pest infestations, depleted soil nutrients, and fungal infections. Overwatering is the most frequent reason, as snake plants store water in their leaves and do not like soggy soil. Underwatering leads to wilting and crispy leaf tips. Poor light or cramped roots can also cause leaves to elongate and droop as the plant struggles to get enough resources. Ensuring well-draining soil, watering only when the top few inches of soil are dry, providing indirect light, and checking for pests can help revitalize a drooping snake plant.
