I finally figured out why my snake plant wasn't growing—I was watering it way too much! After switching to the "neglect it" approach and letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, it's actually putting out new leaves. I'm still nervous about underwatering, though. Does anyone else struggle with the temptation to fuss over their Sansevieria? I have to actively resist checking the soil constantly.
