Natural Growth Stress: Minor scarring or yellowing can occur as leaves grow and adapt to new environments.

Dry Air and Drafts: Exposure to drafts or low humidity can dry out leaf tips, turning them brown.

Overwatering or Damp Soil: Overhydration can lead to brown patches or leaf discoloration.

Shipping or Handling Damage: Bumps and knocks during shipping can result in scars, rips, or cuts in leaves. This does not indicate poor health.

Trimming: - Use clean, sharp scissors to trim brown or damaged tips. Shape the cut into a point to mimic the leaf’s natural appearance. - For severely damaged or brown leaves, consider trimming them at the base. Removing fully browned leaves helps the plant focus its energy on new growth.

Handling Infections: - Remove mushy, discolored, or infected sections with disinfected tools, cutting along the natural leaf shape. Proper hygiene prevents the spread of infection.

Watering Guidelines: - Refill water reservoirs every two months, ensuring the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and brown tips. - If the soil is too damp, poke holes with a straw or chopstick to improve airflow and help it dry.

Lighting: - Place your Snake Plant in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.

Draft-Free Space and Humidity: - Ensure the plant isn’t near cold drafts, radiators, or vents. Slightly increased humidity can help maintain healthy leaves.

Acclimation After Delivery: - Allow 2–3 weeks for the plant to adapt to its new environment. Some yellowing, browning, and minor leaf loss during this time are normal.

Managing Scars and Imperfections: - Minor scars and imperfections from shipping are a natural part of the plant's life cycle. Trim tips for aesthetics if desired, but these marks don’t affect plant health.

Encouraging New Growth: - Rotate the pot ¼ turn with each watering to promote even growth.
