Wow! Those are really tall Snake plants Stush and Charleen! I feel your pain Alan! But try it indoors and in pots like I am doing now...seems to be working better for the plant. My plant would have been as tall as Charleen's had it not dwindled due to that cold weather..plus now that I think of it, I used the wrong pot...I planted it first on a self watering pot, so with the rains coupled by cold weather, bad recipe for this plant rotting away the roots. Now that I have switched it to a properly draining pot, and really gave it a good exposure last summer before bringing it indoors this fall, it has given me new babies.

I have been good in growing different cacti and succulents outdoors and was blindsided by the near failure on this Snake plant. Ah, live and learn! Thanks for all the advice!!!
