I finally figured out why my snake plant wasn't growing—I was watering it too much, even in my dry Mediterranean climate

I finally figured out why my snake plant wasn't growing—I was watering it too much, even in my dry Mediterranean climate. Switched to watering maybe once every three weeks, and now it's actually putting out new leaves. The thing is bulletproof if you just leave it alone. Has anyone else found that less attention actually works better with these, or is mine just stubborn?
