To be truethful, I'm not even entirely sure it's a houseplant. I've searched endlessly through all sorts of plant encyclopedias, but with absolutely no luck.

This little plant is incredibly hardy - it survived my mothers severe neglect for approx. two years before falling into my care. It's very slow-growing (It's been about the same size for as long as I can remember), and the fleshy leaves have me leaning towards some kind of succulent. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I'd love to give it what it wants. Thanks in advance!

Hi

I am quite certain what you have is a Snake Plant.

That was one of my original guesses, but doesn't the snake plant grow up from the soil in a bunch of seperate shoots?

It can, but if there is only one shoot i would imagine it to look like that. Plus, it is almost identical to my Snake Plant.
