My indoor blackjack snake plant bloomed after one year. Once the flowers all finish opening, what do I do with the long flower stalk? Do I cut it off, if so, where?
Not everyone gets to see flowers on their snake plants! It's beautiful! Once the flower stalk has finished blooming, just cut the stalk at the base and remove it.

Hi there, can someone please help me identify what's wrong with my snake plant? I noticed tiny speckled spots on my snake plant and I can't make out what's wrong with it. It's all over the leaves and only on my big snake plant, not on the two smaller pots. Is this from sun damage or am I having a pest problem? I do have it outside on my balcony. The withering leaves are most likely from overwatering, but why do they look so dried out?! I water these once a week.
Overwatering and direct sun, likely, are to blame.
This is best in indirect light, and dry soils. From here, you may want to use a fungicide, and correct environmental conditions.

They look and feel like scabs, but what's odd is I can wipe these specks away with a wet rag.
Have anyone else come across this problem? Greatly appreciate it!
We have a very large house plant mother in law's tongue / snake plant with seven or eight bloom stalks coming up. Is this normal?
Yes, they can bloom though many never see it! It could be that you give yours just the right amount of light. Snake plants are touted as low light plants and that may be why many never see the blooms.
I brought an snake plant & now it got root rot. I pulled to out & cut the rotted part off & now I want to save the rest of it. how do I repot he rest of the plant
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. If this was not replanted with a fungicide, then it needs to be treated, ASAP.
Other than this, the plant thrives on neglect, so watering habits will need to be corrected to prevent future issues. The plant must dry out thoroughly, as underwatering is much better than overwatering.

Just want to know the name of the plant and where I can buy them
This is a Cylindrical Snake Plant. They are tropical and usually require being indoors. They prefer "bright shade." As far as where to get them... We don't recommend places to purchase. I can say that you might have luck on reputable nursery websites or your local nurseries may have them as well.
You might try asking where the plant that you saw was purchased.

My 6 yr old snake plant (which was started from cuttings of a much older plant that grew too large and cumbersome to keep) suddenly sprouted a stem this summer with tiny little flower clusters. The plant is outdoors on a covered deck so it's exposed to limited sun and rain. I will attempt to download a picture with this question.
It's lovely! Blooming is rare but tends to happen when the plant is stressed, such as when potbound. I believe it will bloom if it gets more light than it is used to. Here is more info:
I have a snake plant cactus also known as Mother In Laws tongue. It had some pups come up and we removed those into another pot. It has been growing just fine. It has not pushed out this odd looking growth that looks a bit like a green baby pine cone. It has never done this before. Can anyone tell me if this is its bloom pod or what it might be. Picture attached. Thanks for your help. Stan
It looks like it is about to bloom!
