white dries patches on some leaves

Question

My snake plant has white dried patches on a few leaves. What can I do to help it recover and what is this?

Answer 1

Can you include a photo? This is usually indicative of a fungal infection. Make sure to only water when the soil is almost completely dry. These are drought tolerant, and will not tolerate being wet for too long. You can replace 1/4 of the water with peroxide the next time you water. This one time dose will kill off any infections in the soil.
