Hello,
The Snake plant is generally known as a low maintenance plant. The most common diseases are related to fungal diseases. This plant needs its soil to dry out a bit before the next watering. If water gets on the leaves, fungus may develop. Most of what I have researched states to keep leaves dry during watering, have good air movement and let the problem correct itself. Here is a good article that talks about care of the Snake Plant. https://www.greenandvibrant.com/snake-plant
Good luck!
