This sounds like a "snake plant" - real name "sanseveria" (sp?).
I agree - it's pretty indestructible.  Not good for hanging, though,
since it really just grows up.  It will reproduce itself by sending
up baby plants from its roots.  I've seen these at least 3' tall, so it
might work well in a corner also.
