How much light does a Snake Plant need?

Snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata) are tolerant of a wide range of lighting conditions and can survive in low light, making them a good choice for locations with limited natural light. However, they will generally grow best in bright, indirect light and can also tolerate some direct sunlight.

If you are growing your snake plant indoors, a spot near an east- or west-facing window is generally a good choice. Snake plants can also be grown under fluorescent lights or in a greenhouse.

If you are growing your snake plant outdoors, choose a location with bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Avoid exposing your snake plant to strong, direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or brown.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on your snake plant and observe how it is growing. If the leaves start to yellow or turn brown, it may be getting too much light and you may need to move it to a location with less direct sun. On the other hand, if the leaves are pale or elongated, it may not be getting enough light and you may need to move it to a brighter location.

Overall, snake plants are relatively low-maintenance plants that are easy to care for and will thrive in a wide range of lighting conditions.
