If you think the sansevieria—sometimes jokingly called "mother-in-law's tongue"—is just a nearly indestructible decorative plant, think again. One summer morning, upon entering my living room, I was greeted by a surprisingly sweet, almost vanilla-like fragrance. After a few minutes searching for a forgotten candle or a diffuser I'd accidentally turned on, I finally understood: my sansevieria had just bloomed.
Yes, this plant, renowned for its hardiness, can produce long stems covered in small white flowers capable of filling an entire room with their fragrance. A rare phenomenon, but absolutely magical when it occurs.
Here's how I discovered the secrets that promote its flowering... and how you can do the same at home.

It all starts with light
For years, I left my sansevieria in a shady corner, convinced that, because it "survives everywhere", it didn't need anything more. Big mistake.
To flower, it needs bright but indirect light.
By placing it near an east-facing window – where the morning sun remains gentle – I saw its growth awaken almost immediately. The leaves appeared firmer, thicker, and new shoots appeared regularly.
Key points to remember:
- Bright light but not scorching sun
- Avoid rooms that are too dark, as this slows down flowering.
