purpleinopp said:Lovely! This pot looks like it started life when someone stuck a bunch of cut leaves into a pot. Each leaf is emerging from the soil independently, not in a rosette formation. It is likely that a LOT more pups will be emerging soon. In any case, each mother leaf will eventually shrivel away. No individual leaf lasts forever.

No, I usually water just until water comes out of the drain holes in the main pot.

Oh, good. If the main pot has drainage holes, then that shouldn't be a problem. I think you said you were allowing it to dry out well between waterings, which is good. Might be worth checking the cache pot anyway, to make sure water isn't building up inside it, and that the bottom of the nursery pot is getting enough air flow.
Others here have more expertise with sansevierias than I do, but I do have a few of these plants at home. They are almost absurdly drought-tolerant...even more so than most of my succulents. I can forget to water some of them for months and they hardly seem to care. But they really do not like excess moisture - it was easier than I thought to overwater the larger ones, and when I did, the new growth quickly became mushy. They are tough plants, however; they will recover handily once you correct whatever was causing the problem.

I don't think there is any way this plant is getting too much sun inside.

That is a different species than yours but rhizomes are rhizomes.
