Default Sansevieria Trifasciata

Absolute nonsense, Virginia.

First of all, Sansevierias can't think.

Second, Sansevierias do best when grown as succulents not as typical
houseplants.

Third, a well watered and well fertilized plant grown in good light will
grow better and flower more reliably than a mistreated one.

Of course, all that is rather difficult to do in Alaska.

You said the magic word: NEGLECT..if the sansaveria thinks it may die,
or need to go dormant, it will bloon. It DOES seem to need some sun to
bloom, but nothing like most houseplants.
I used to leave for six weeks at a time. I'd water mine well before I
left and when I returned, it would be ready to bloom from having been
neglected for that length of time.
And doesn't it smell great!!!

I've never seen it before, but mine is flowering. Is this indicative of

neglect I
could have heaped on it.
