Mother-In-Laws Tongue likes to be neglected. Let your plant get root bound, a little dry and under fertilized. If mildy and continually stressed for a long enough period of time, you may be rewarded with a tall flower stalk of small white blooms. Blooming is extremely rare so be patient and neglect away. I've heard the same. That mother-in-law tongues (aka snake plant) thrive on neglect. I've also heard that chewing a piece can paralize the vocal cords. "Hence the name"
