I've had my Sansevieria trifasciata for about eight months now and it's finally putting out a new leaf, which feels like a huge win for me. I keep it in indirect light near my bedroom window and water maybe once a month, which seems to be the sweet spot. Does anyone else struggle with knowing when it's actually thirsty versus just being dramatic? I'm still figuring out the watering schedule, but so far this one's been way more forgiving than the other plants in my collection.
