Overheard a gardener in Seattle say something that flipped my whole view on houseplants

I was at the Ballard Farmers Market last weekend and heard a woman telling her friend she only waters her snake plant once every two months. I always watered mine every week and it was getting brown tips. I tried her way, and after three weeks, the plant looks way better. Has anyone else had a plant do better with way less water than you thought?

Watched a friend drown a cactus until it finally thrived on neglect.

Yeah @sageg99, I did the same thing with a snake plant. I was watering it every week and it started to rot. Left it alone for like a month and a half, and it finally put out new growth. They really do better when you forget about them.
