Beginner Gardening: Snake plant in trouble, 1 by purpleinopp

Many houseplants can and will burn if suddenly thrust into some sun, but not this one. KG's plant is getting such a small amount of light, the variegation is completely faded. The plant I pictured grew those new babies after being put into some sun. If you want your Sans to actually grow, it can and will. The twin of this plant is in a 5-gallon bucket because it is growing so fast, and made a flower earlier this year. All of my plants go outside for the summer and the only times I've had problems with pests is when plants are inside.

KG, forgot to commend you for your repotting technique described above. The only thing I would add is trimming the roots a bit. Be sure to let it get dry before watering again.
