If your snake plant is drooping don’t worry! There are a few easy things you can do to fix the problem.
First check the soil to see if it is dry. If it is water the plant thoroughly and wait a few hours to see if it perks up. If the soil is not dry then the problem may be that the plant is not getting enough light. Move it to a brighter spot and see if that helps.
If neither of those solutions works then the problem may be that the plant is rootbound. This means that the roots have grown too big for the pot and need to be transplanted into a larger one. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and replant it in a bigger one. Be sure to water it well.
Finally if none of these solutions works then the plant may be sick and you should take it to a plant nursery or doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment.
