If you live in a house that does not have enough light you should not worry about whether you can grow houseplants.
In fact, there are many houseplants today that do not need much sunlight. Some species of these plants are: succulents, ferns flowering plants and many others.
Today we will reveal 10 house plants that you can grow in low light in your home.
Chinese Evergreen
Chinese evergreens are a great choice for your home. They are also known as Aglaonema and there are more than 20 unique varieties. Chinese evergreens do not require much growth, all they need is moist soil and to avoid low temperatures.
Note: When growing the plant, it is recommended to wear gloves if you have sensitive skin because their juice can cause irritation.
English Ivy
English ivy has hundreds of varieties, some are plain green, while others are mixed with yellow, gold or creamy white. You’ll typically see English ivy hanging in a pot, but you can also train it to climb a trellis or moss stick. Guide to Houseplants suggests maintaining evenly moist soil throughout the year—misting often to keep the leaves from drying out (though slightly drier during the winter). You can improve drainage with a small layer of pebbles at the bottom of the pot.
Snake Plant
Sansevieria, also known as mother-in-law’s tongue and snake plant, is easily recognized by its long leaves with yellow or silvery-white stripes. Snake plants are also known for being one of the easiest houseplants to grow. This low-light houseplant does well with moderate watering: First allow the soil to dry completely, checking it once every two weeks.
Dumb Cane
The dumb cane has been a well-liked houseplant dating back to the Victorian era, with its thick, large leaves featuring patterns of green and yellow. An herbaceous perennial native to the Caribbean and South America, these plants reach heights of 10-12 feet outdoors, though they rarely reach that size in indoor conditions.
Friendship Plant
Pilea involucrata, native to Central and South America is known for its oval-shaped, velvety leaves. This bushy, trailing plant is easy to care for but does best in a humid environment like a terrarium. Friendship plants grow between six to 12 inches high, making them great for small spaces. Gardening Know How suggests keeping the temperature between 65 to 75 degrees and away from heaters or drafty windows.
Philodendrons
This is a whole family of plants that come in different shapes and sizes, all with a lot of interesting foliage. For a trailing vine, try a heartleaf philodendron, or a more upright variety with a lacy leaf.
As long as you don’t keep your plant in a very hot window, it will do just nicely in high or low light. Keep it watered regularly, typically when the surface of the soil is just getting dry to the touch.
Arrowhead Plant
Native to Central and South America, the arrowhead plant gets its name from distinctive leaves that resemble the shape of arrowheads. These plants have a tendency to vine as they age, making them ideal for tall or hanging planters, but they can also be trimmed to maintain their shape. Fast growing and lush, arrowhead plants enjoy humid environments with regular misting and should be kept from direct sun.
