My snake plant finally put out a new leaf after sitting dormant for months, and I realized I'd been watering it way too much. Turns out it actually thrives on neglect—I moved it to a bright corner and pretty much forgot about it, and that's when it took off. Now it's my lowest-maintenance plant by far, which is exactly what I needed in my collection. If you've got one struggling, try backing off the water and finding it some decent light.
