Overwatering
Dracaena trifasciata
DIAGNOSIS

Rhizome rot from over-watering during winter dormancy. Snake plants have very poor recovery odds once rot spreads in the rhizome.


PLAN FOR THE COMING DAYS
  1. 01

    Take out of pot, assess the rhizome

  2. 02

    If any healthy sections remain — separate and repot in dry substrate

  3. 03

    Discard rotten parts; do not try to save them
