Can snake plants grow in low light conditions?

Yes, snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata) are tolerant of low light conditions and can thrive in a variety of lighting conditions, including low light. They are often referred to as "mother-in-law's tongue" because of their long, pointed leaves and are known for their ability to tolerate neglect.

However, while snake plants can survive in low light, they will generally grow best in bright, indirect light. They can also tolerate some direct sunlight, but it is essential to avoid exposing them to strong, direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause the leaves to turn yellow or brown.

If you are growing your snake plant in a low-light location, allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering, as snake plants are prone to root rot if they are kept too moist. Also, be aware that snake plants grown in low light may grow more slowly and produce fewer offsets (baby plants) than those grown in brighter light.
