Help with failing Sansevieria trifasciata

8 years ago

Years ago I received a basket of mixed houseplants as a gift. Included was a set of Sansevieria trifasciata. I left them in the basket a bit too long and getting them out and repotting didn't go so well. I used too big a pot, and the leaves were misshapen, which I blamed on the basket. It took years to bring it around, cutting out the bent leaves as I went (which seemed to help). It started to thrive and give me nice, straight, tall leaves - and then some started to curl. I read that it was probably thrips and I should wash the plant. Hah! I wiped down the leaves and it seemed to help for a while, but then the curling started again. This time, I washed it, which entailed holding it sideways in the sink and using the sprayer. A day of so later, they were falling over sideways - almost horizontal. I decided to repot and that didn't go well - again. I have them in three pots and they're all pretty much sideways. I'm trying to prop them up, but that's not working as well as I would like. I don't over water them and they have good drainage. Any suggestions on how I can save these plants?
