Snake Plant brown tips

A stiff leaf with an unchanged dry point may have old abrasion, a broken tip, or past watering stress. Check the newer leaves and bases before changing care.

If the mark is stable

Leave it or trim the dead point with a narrow brown margin. The trimmed leaf will retain that shape. Brown tips alone are not a reason to increase watering or humidity; snake plants store water and tolerate dry indoor air.

If browning spreads

Check for yellow, translucent, or soft tissue farther down the leaf. Inspect a soft base and rhizome promptly, especially after cold exposure or wet soil. With firm bases, review repeated severe drought and excessive fertilizer before changing the pot.
