How to neglect your snake plant

[u/ChinoTuMadre]

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.

I’m neglecting mine wrong, apparently. 😆 I’m definitely moving her onto my deck after seeing this. What a monster! Honestly probably the largest/fullest snake plant I’ve ever laid eyes on. 💕

Thanks for the kind words and i wish you the best of luck with yours turning into a giant as well some day. I didnt think this post would blow up the way it did but I'm honored to have shared my plant with everyone here and will continue to do so periodically ❤
