Wow! I've never seen one in bloom. To be honest I never even considered they could

Seriously. I have never seen this and have owned Snake Plants for years. Granted most of them have died but still

Apparently, being crowded signals the plant to start flowering. It bloomed a tiny bit last year, but it's taken up 100% of the pot now. It's about 8 years old.

There’s so many plants out there that I never even considered would bloom!

Holy moly that is one honkin snake plant!!! I can't wait to get such a monster!

Truthfully I always found their blooms hilarious, they got this giant display of rugged leaves and and then their little flowers are these itty bitty little delicate things. It reminds me of people who and drive huge trucks for some reason lol

Thank you. They are about 4' tall. I think the flowers look like honeysuckle.

Wow that's a ton of flowers! Ours flowered after its first year with us this year; hopefully next year it will be happy enough to flower like this too

WOW. I didn't even know these blossomed. That's a happy plant 🙂

My grandmother had a huge snake plant and pothos that were so long. I did not inherit he ability. My snake plant produces plenty of pups, but doesn’t grow, and my pothos just don’t grow.

Idk what I don’t do that she did.
