I've had my snake plant for about eight months now and it's finally starting to put out a new leaf, which feels like a huge win! I kept second-guessing my watering schedule at first—I read so many conflicting things about Sansevieria trifasciata. Mine's in a bright corner of my living room and I water it maybe every three weeks. Does anyone else struggle with the "neglect it and it thrives" advice, or is that actually true? I'd love to know what works for other people's setups.
