I Have A Huge Snake Plant. Sansevieria Trifasciata, I Think. It Has Some Leaves That Have Dry Brown Tips, There Are A Few Leaves

that have brown edges where they used to be yellow. There are multiple leaves that have grown crooked and/or bent. It has been sprouting babies quite often lately. It sits in a south window and gets plenty of light. Since it is so large I turn 90 degrees at least once a week so that the whole plant will get about the same amount of sun. Some of the leaves are quite close together. Does this cause the problems I have described.
