Finally I succeeded

After many moons and many houseplants. I've managed to keep one alive long enough to get a baby snek.

Just need to watch how I water it.

Awesome! Mine just bloomed for the first time after almost 10 years.

I’ve been propagating these things for years, and I had no idea they could bloom. That’s wild. Congrats!

Me either! It was a complete surprise.

Hopefully I can propagate a bit. Not sure

I think you can, the plant looks very happy with whatever you're doing. Imo they like to get a little rooty so don't repot it for a bit. You can split the rhizomes easily with a knife and prop it when the time is right.

That's what I was hoping for. I won't be splitting until it's a lot bigger. I think just leaving it alone. It gets very little attention and it's happy with that

I’m just going to bet your path to victory was completely forgetting you had a snake plant for five years.

Pretty much. Left it months without watering because it was behind the curtain. Now I'm scared to water.

Others haven't been so lucky. That's a snek a split up. Had 3 to start with. Just overwatered

It was. Fil drowned it. Not sure if it will survive. Almost almost

It's a Snake plant the real trick would be, that not happening.

I've had a few but I tend to over water. My curse, or theirs
