Mother-In-Laws Tongue likes to be neglected. Let your plant get root bound, a little dry and under fertilized. If mildy and continually stressed for a long enough period of time, you may be rewarded with a tall flower stalk of small white blooms. Blooming is extremely rare so be patient and neglect away. I've heard the same. That mother-in-law tongues (aka snake plant) thrive on neglect. I've also heard that chewing a piece can paralize the vocal cords. "Hence the name"

Why do you have cracks in your tongue?

A tongue that is constantly peeling for almost no reason at all is called a geographical tongue. Geographic tongue is a harmless (benign) oral condition that gives your tongue a map-like, or geographic, appearance. The distinct look of geographic tongue occurs when parts of your tongue are missing the layer of small bumps called papillae. This causes irregularly shaped smooth, red patches to form on parts of your tongue, like a rash. Although geographic tongue may look alarming, it doesn't cause any health problems and isn't associated with infection or cancer. Geographic tongue is usually painless but can sometimes cause tongue discomfort and increased sensitivity to certain substances. Geographic tongue often heals in one area and then moves (migrates) to a different part of your tongue. Geographic tongue is also known as benign migratory glossitis. If you have further issues that are of concern please contact your doctor as soon as possible.
