Marilyn, I had a Sansevieria for five years, during which it was ignored for 2 in a pot in a steamy hot/super cold sunroom in Virginia, then it was forgotten outside for a little while in very cold weather, then I forgot to water it for probably 6 months, then I took the trouble to move it to Florida with me because I had so much respect for it after such abuse, plopped it in the ground during May heat, and it is still alive, kickin', and putting out new shoots left and right. Unbelievably tough plants! It looks very much alive to me!
