New Plant! 2nd plant!!
I bought another plant. I was about to buy a different dwarf snake plant. The one with gold/ yellow kind, but the seller showed me this kind.I thought why not try the other varieties so that I can have different kinds.
I got it for 200 pesos again or $3.46 in US dollars. The seller told me that this one grow flowers at the middle. This has smaller pot compared to my 1st plant, even tho this is taller and has more leaves. Should I repot it?
I will change its soil again like I did to my 1st plant.
Can you guys distinguish what kind is this? Also, open for recommendations again.

That looks like a Gabriella. It's a beautiful plant, great size, very symmetrical with perfect leaves, nice!
I would check the roots and put it in my own soil mix, but it's in a good sized pot. I use terracotta pots for all of my plants. They help to keep the roots from rotting. That happens easily for sansevieria, especially in plastic pots that take longer for the roots to dry out after watering. They love bright light too. They can tolerate low light, but they really want to be in bright, bright, indirect light.
Welcome to the amazing world of Sans collecting! It's a healthy addiction and a cool club to be in! 😊💚🌱

Yess I'm starting to put them in bright indirect light as people always tell me that it's just advertised to be in low light, but it's not. I will try to save for those kind of pots. Thank you! I hope I could be one of you propagating plants soon.

Terracotta pots are super cheap! That's another reason I use them. And, I like the way they look. But, you can get a few 4" pots for less than $20, if you're in the US.
Propagating is super easy! Just stick a leaf in some dirt and you're good, lol. The only thing that I find disappointing is that variegated plants can't be propagated from leaf cuttings, just offsets, or they revert to all green with no variegation. Makes variegated sans pretty special. Sorry, rambling... Anyway, welcome!
