Snake plants are pretty tough plants that can tolerate a wide range of light conditions. However, they do best in bright, indirect light. If you live in a colder climate, your snake plant can probably handle direct sunlight for a few hours each day. However, if you live in a hotter climate or if your plant is getting too much direct sunlight, the leaves will start to bleach out and turn yellow. If this happens, simply move your plant to a spot that gets indirect/indoor light. Your plant will soon recover and start to look green and healthy again.
