Snake Plant cold damage

Water-soaked, translucent, or dark patches can appear after cold exposure, sometimes after a delay. Compare the exposed leaf areas with the bases and rhizomes.

Keep firm tissue and remove collapse

Move to stable warmth and bright indirect light. Leave firm areas while the extent of injury becomes clear; remove wet, collapsing tissue with a clean blade. Keep the pot out of runoff and water only after its mix dries through.

If softness reaches the soil line or rhizome, follow the snake plant root rot rescue. A dry upper scar with a firm base is a different situation from a collapsing crown.
