Frozen Snake Plant (Mother-in-Law's Tongue): Trim or Wait?

Cold Damage Assessment

Brown, brittle tips won't recover. Trimming is cosmetic—recovery depends on root survival.

Care Now

• Trim dead tips if desired (clean cut above damage).
• Water sparingly—cold slows growth, reducing water need.
• Bright light, warm location.
• Watch for new growth from base in 4–6 weeks.

If no new shoots appear after 6 weeks, roots likely froze and plant is dead.
