#Thejunglecollective!

The amount of light you can supply should be one of your first considerations when choosing a houseplant. But even if your home doesn’t have many big windows, you may choose from some of the best houseplants for low light on our list. So utilise these low-maintenance houseplants to liven up that gloomy corner in your living room or office – they’ll flourish even there.

1. Aglaonemas

Aglaonemas have been extremely popular among houseplants in recent years. Even the darkest space will be illuminated by the magnificent bright green leaves on this houseplant, while you may also find variations with red or even pink foliage. Aglaonema also thrives in dry soil, making it a wonderful gift for forgetful gardeners. Aglaonema, often known as Chinese evergreen, is practically impregnable.

2. Peace Lily

The easiest way to sum up a Peace lily is to say that they are simple and lovely. Pure white flower spathes are sent up on tall, graceful stalks by this indoor low-light plant. Even when the plants aren’t in flower, peace lilies have lovely glossy green leaves. The peace lily, also known by the botanical name Spathiphyllum, is frequently offered as a houseplant.

3. Dracaenas

Any room in your house will have an air of luxury, thanks to dracaenas. You can group many of these plants together to make a little forest because they are frequently marketed as conventional houseplants or in tree form. As soon as any fading leaves appear, remove them to preserve the tree looking its best.

4. Peperomias

Peperomia, which only grows 4–10 inches tall and has a broad variety of diverse leaf forms and colours, is ideal for terrariums or dish gardens. It has few insect or disease problems and is native to rainforests, so it likes to be in a spot with plenty of humidity.

5. Dieffenbachias

Few indoor plants have as many alternatives for coloured foliage as Dieffenbachia. These beautiful tropical plants have a wide variety of yellow and green or white and green speckled or splotched leaves. Although they thrive in dim environments, they prefer some bright, indirect light to prevent lethargy.

6. Palms

One of the greatest indoor plants for low light conditions is the parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans), which has been popular since the Victorian era. It is a slow-growing Mexican native. It becomes 4 feet tall and commands attention in any space. Parlor palm only need watering when the soil feels dry to the touch, however misting the plants occasionally in the winter can be beneficial.

Beaucarnea recurvata, sometimes known as the ponytail palm, is a virtually unbreakable plant for any space in your home. Elephant’s foot palm is the second common name for this fascinating and odd plant, which has long, strap-like leaves that grow from a big, fat base. Ponytail palm is the perfect plant if you frequently travel because it can go for several weeks without watering thanks to the way it stores extra moisture in its fat base. Ponytail palms may grow up to 6 feet tall indoors and are available in heights ranging from tabletop to tree.

7. ZZ Plant

Are you looking for a houseplant that can withstand neglect and dark spaces? Check out ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia). Even if it only receives fluorescent light in an office or store, this native of Africa will survive. It can withstand dry circumstances as well, making it perfect for regular travelers. The ZZ plant has gorgeous leaves that are glossy, dark green, and grow erect, slightly arched stems (and you can even find a new variety with near-black foliage).

8. Pothos

If kept out of direct sunlight, pothos, which is frequently mistaken for a Philodendron, will flourish in any room of your house. You may train this low-maintenance vining plant to grow on a trellis or let it fall over the edge of a hanging basket. Dark green, chartreuse, white-and-green, yellow-and-green, and spotted silver are just a few of the hues and bicolors available in Pothos.

9.Philodendrons

The philodendron, one of the greatest indoor plant species, is particularly tolerant of dark environments, making it one of the best houseplants for low lighting. This fast-growing vine can be trained to climb a totem or small trellis, and it does well in hanging baskets. Two more recent cultivars have vibrant foliage. Beautiful gold and green variegated foliage may be found on the “Brasil” variety, while the “Micans” variant features purple-flushed leaves with a satin-like feel.

10. Anthuriums

In the gloomy winter months, Anthurium’s striking red, pink, orange, white, or purple blossoms are a wonderful treat. Nonetheless, it is crucial to maintain modest moisture in the soil at all times because these tropical beauties dislike excessively dry or wet soils. Although it will survive in darker environments, anthurium blooms best in bright, indirect light, but flowering may be restricted. The plants’ heart-shaped, bright green leaves, however, continue the color show even when they are not in bloom.
