This doesn't happen often. And only happens when the Sanserveria (aka Snake Plant, Mother in Law's tongue) is really really happy with where he/she is living.
Most plant growers think this plant likes low light but it doesn't. It will tolerate low light and won't die but it would prefer bright indirect light. A little sun in the early spring mornings is also appreciated.
I took her outside today to give her a good bath with the hose and watering and found she has sprouted a stem that has flower buds on it.
I got her from a nursery when I was living in Reno, I was trying to get something green in the desert! She was a little plant then - maybe 6-8" tall. However, she has grown - she especially liked living in Valdosta, GA, where she could sit out on the screened in porch most of the year.
She's big now - too big to move much
And bringing her back inside with a pot full of water is hard! I will take more pictures when she flowers - it's not a really good looking flower, kind of scraggly with lots of sappy stuff. But I am glad to know she is happy where she is living now.
