Your succulent is most probably Sansevieria trifasciata commonly known as
'mother-in-laws tongue'. Originating in West Africa and is of the Agavaceae.
They require a minimum temperature of 50F and very little water. From
Spring to Autumn let it dry out totally before watering. Will be quite happy
indoors in a semi-shaded position. Very weak liquid manure at monthly
intervals during summer months is all that is needed to maintain health and
the normal slow growth. Do not re-pot unless very necessary.

I got this at a garage sale today. The tag says African Sanseveria. I
have
done a google search but I can't find it anywhere. It's a beautiful plant,
several thick spikes about 2inches in diameter and tapering to a point.
The
highest spike is about 3 feet tall and the spikes are ridged. I really
need
to know how to take care of it since it will be inside. The guy I bought
it
from said it was in the Mother-in-law family

As usual any help is appreciated
