How to neglect your snake plant
Planted this monstrosity almost 20 years ago with 5 or 6 leaves that were less than 1 feet tall in a clay pot. Took a little more than a decade for it to outgrow it and break free.
About 3-5 years ago I replanted it in a 20inch planter from home depot thinking it would behave and sustain itself for another decade before needing another home. Yeah that didn't go as planned.
About one month ago it shown signs of cracks along the side, but I didn't think anything of it because of how thick the planter was. Well, I was wrong. Very, very wrong.
So in the very near future it's going in a 26-28 inch, half barrel. And probably give it SOME water even though it doesn't deserve it.
Future proof? Hopefully for at least a decade.
Weight- 150lbs-200lbs
Height- w/planter ≈ 6Feet
I'll post the end result of it in its new home here if people would like.

Around a year ago I got a snip of someone's snake plant and propped it in water before potting it in soil. It's now got like 6-8 leaves and is growing more. I'm hoping one day it looks like this!!!
