If you’re noticing that your snake plant’s leaves are looking a bit mushy there are a few possible explanations. First it could be a sign of overwatering. Snake plants are relatively drought-tolerant so they don’t need a ton of water. If you’re watering your plant more than once a week that could be why the leaves are looking mushy.
Second the mushiness could be a sign of root rot. Root rot is caused by too much moisture in the soil which can be the result of overwatering or planting the snake plant in a pot that doesn’t have good drainage. If you think root rot might be the problem take a look at the roots of your plant. If they’re brown and mushy that’s a sure sign of root rot.
If your snake plant’s leaves are looking mushy it’s important to figure out the cause so you can take steps to fix the problem. Overwatering is the most common cause of mushy leaves but root rot can also be to blame. Once you’ve identified the problem take steps to correct it and your snake plant should start to look better in no time.
