Hi,

The plastic definetly did your plants in. Snake plants are succulent and high humidity is not what they like. Sounds like the leaves rotted, which means you may have rot throughout the entire plant. Check the roots and see if they are mushy or firm. The soil will smell bad too. If they are too far gone its best to just buy new plants.

Wraping them in plastic might not have been enough to keep them from freezing. The plastic would not have helped unless the temperature was borderline. Sometimes the damage done by freezing temps is not immediately visible. So, maybe it was the plastic or maybe it wasn't, but the best way to keep your Sans healthy when you are expecting a freeze is to take them indoors.

I don't give up the easily. Take the plant out of the soil, and just let it sit until you see new growth returning. Plastic is always deadly next to the leaves of plants. It must not touch the leaves, all plants need good air circulation to survive. Don't toss it out, you may want to set the rhizomes into dry soil, just below the soil line and wait. Keep it warm and see what happens.
Don't give up, they do like high humidity if they come from the tropical Africa. Most grow in brush land. Mainly they don't like water this time of year. They are dormant now in thier native lands. My book says it came from Bengal.

Thank you everyone!
I will never use plastic again. I don't think the roots are rotten. There is no strange smell.
So I should let it dry? Because it's been raining like crazy here so they are in pretty wet soil.
Thanks again.

Bring it in from the rain now pls. If it were mine, I'd take it out of the wet mix & shake ALL that mix off. Then I'd put it into fresh mix in the same pots (after washing them) & DO NOT WATER it.

Norma, the poster made no mention AT ALL of what kind of Sans she's discussing. Given that, how can you possibly guess where it came from & why would you?

Karen perhaps not to you, but to me it was very clear what she was talking about. The poster named the plant and Jen even knew what she was talking about. Karen I'm sorry that went by you.S. (Snake Plant)= trysiflora or trifasciata depending on the coloring. Both from India, now spread all over the world. Norma

Karen the poster said it was a snake plant, Trifasicata, or Trisiflora come from the African Troopics I did not guess anything. Jen also said it was a Snake plant. I wan't asked to Id the plant, by the way you gave excellalnt advise. Read before you scold. What in the world are you mad at me about? Do we have a problem that I don't know about? This is the third time you attacked me on what I said, whithout reading. What is going on here. Remember I was the lady you contacted when you where giving a program on San. You weere the lady that came to my house for a Hoya program, Chuck took you to catch the train. Really Karen email me if there is a problem. Norma
