Please help, sentimental little plant dying (maybe?)

11 years ago

I have a relentless black thumb and was given a snake plant by my boyfriend because he knew I was interested in keeping house plants. It was so thoughtful of him and this plant means a lot to me, so I'd really like to salvage it. My black thumb isn't helping me figure out what to do, so here I am. Pictures...





(I apologize if these are huge, I only have Internet via an iPod so I don't know what this looks like on a laptop!)


The first picture shows a leaf where it looks like something has been eating it!?


The second two are the shriveling/wrinkly leaves that are all occurring at the bottom of the plant. I didn't water it for about a month because it was winter and I was worried about over watering. I first noticed two wrinkly leaves, and watered it, only to find two more wrinkly leaves a few days after.


The plant comes from a local succulent place, the soil is I believe a mixture of wood and ...dirt? (It's whatever they use for all their succulents). The top layer is black stones/pebbles, just for aesthetics I guess (my boyfriend asked if this would affect the plant and they said no). There is a drainage hole at the bottom of the pot.


So, after that long spiel...please help? Is something eating my plant? Am I under watering? What do I do with these wrinkly leaves?
