Yes, snake plants are native to the desert and can grow in desert-like conditions.
While not all snake plants originate from deserts specifically, they are native to arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia, which share similar characteristics in terms of sunlight exposure and water scarcity. This is why they are well-suited to thrive in conditions similar to those found in deserts. Their ability to tolerate drought and bright, direct sunlight contributes to their survival in these environments.
