My snake plant has finally pushed out a third leaf after sitting dormant for months, and honestly I think it was the neglect that did it. I moved it to a corner with barely any light and just watered it once every couple weeks, which sounds backwards but it seems to thrive on being ignored. I'd love to get a photo up of the new growth—it's got this pale stripe I've never seen before. Anyone else find theirs suddenly takes off when you stop fussing with it?
