The roots...you'll know it when you see it.

I've seen many plastic pots, good thick ones, burst from their root masses.

The plants don't care, they seem happy as clams.

some of my snakes(draecenas), curl inward and from what i have learned it is underwatering. then maybe water when the pot is half way down the size if it to re-water.
i would stop using peat moss as it holds water. maybe add a few stones to aid in drainage. great advice on the terra cotta. and perlite also. i have a snake that is about 8 years old and going strong. great plants.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. The snake plant is doing much better now. Here how it looked a couple of waterings after my initial post (as you can see, it even has a pup):



I started watering the plant more frequently and more thoroughly. When the soil is fully dry, I now completely soak the plant in water and it seems to love it.
