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.
Oh, congratulations!
Thanking you
Love new pups! Congrats!
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.
It's a cute lil snek
It was. Fil drowned it. Not sure if it will survive. Almost almost
Fingers and toes crossed 🤞
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
