Check this out: when snake plants are raised in commercial greenhouses, they are typically a bundle of leaf cuttings. This is why they look like a bunch of swords sticking out of soil. In time, when offsets emerge, they exhibit their natural growth structure, which is a rosette. So the leaf profile actually starts off round at the base and then flattens to be sword-like at the tip. Yes, this means that sometimes they will flop over. I sometimes stick a bamboo stake into the soil and tie these floppy leaves against it.
