30 plus year old snake plant decides to flower for the 1st time!
2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago
I've been growing this snake plant in a sunny East window since the 1980's.
After decades in the same pot, I decided to repot last fall. The plant produced several new leaves and suprised me with a spike yesterday...I am thrilled! ( I suppose the plant is thanking me for my kindness)
I am anticipating the fragrant flowers ...I love the variegated leaves( each leaf has a different pattern)
Could there be several varieties potted together?..Can anyone identify what variety of snake plant I have? thanks

It finally unfurled the flowers in one evening, emitting a strong clove/gardenia like fragrance nocturnally.(reminds me of a cheap, overpowering, artifical air fresherner!) Oddly exotic and cool!
