To repot a snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), follow these steps:
Choose a new pot slightly larger than the old one, with drainage holes in the bottom.
Water the snake plant the day before you plan to repot it to make the soil easier to work with.
Gently remove the snake plant from its old pot by turning it upside down and gently pulling it on the base of the plant. If the plant is difficult to remove, you can try gently loosening the soil around the edges of the pot with a trowel or your fingers.
Shake off any excess soil from the roots of the plant.
Fill the bottom of the new pot with a layer of fresh potting soil.
Place the snake plant in the new pot and fill in around the roots with more potting soil. Be sure to leave enough space between the top of the soil and the rim of the pot to allow for watering.
Water the plant thoroughly to help settle the soil around the roots.
If the plant is very pot-bound (the roots are growing in a dense mass), you may need to gently tease the roots apart to encourage new growth.
It's a good idea to repot your snake plant every few years or whenever the roots have outgrown the pot. Be sure to choose a pot slightly larger than the old one to give the roots plenty of room to grow. Snake plants prefer well-draining soil and should not be allowed to sit in standing water, so be sure to use a pot with drainage holes in the bottom.
