Can snake plants be grown outdoors?

Yes, snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata) can be grown outdoors in some climates. They are native to West Africa and are well-suited to hot, dry conditions, making them a good choice for outdoor cultivation in desert or Mediterranean-type climates.

However, snake plants are not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures. In areas with cold winters, snake plants should be grown in containers that can be brought indoors when temperatures drop.

When growing snake plants outdoors, choose a location with well-draining soil and provide plenty of sunlight, as snake plants prefer bright, indirect light. Water your snake plant regularly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering to prevent root rot.

It's also a good idea to protect your snake plant from strong winds, as the leaves can be brittle and may break if they are subjected to too much wind. Overall, snake plants are relatively low-maintenance plants that are well-suited to outdoor cultivation in the right conditions.
