Ailing Snake Plant Question

16 years ago

I recently took two plants from my work. I was told they are called snake plants. They are roughly two feet tall and they just look horrible. The tips are broken off or torn down the center and they no longer stand up straight and tall like they should. I believe that over watering and maybe some light issues were to blame. Since bringing them to my house (a week and a half ago) I have not watered them, giving the soil a chance to dry out. I have them near a south facing window but I have read conflicting things about light requirements for these plants. I have read that they like a lot of light and that they will adapt to very low light conditions. They a still drooping and I donÂt want to kill them off what else should I do for them? I also noticed that the pots they are in have cracked. I was considering repotting them in C&S soil but I am unsure if I should wait till they are stronger.

Thanks,

Heather
