Just realized I was over-watering my snake plant for 6 months straight

I used to water my snake plant every Sunday like clockwork until I noticed the leaves turning yellow and mushy back in March. Turned out the soil was staying wet way too long and the roots were basically rotting because I was ignoring the actual moisture level. Anyone else kill a plant out of being too careful with a schedule?

Did you end up switching to a moisture meter or just going off how the soil feels? I started sticking my finger in the dirt every 10 days or so and my plants have been way happier since.

Stick with the finger test, moisture meters can be finicky and dry soil feels obvious after a while.
