Find the perfect plant for dimly lit spaces


If taking care of your plants is not your strong point, or you simply have little time to dedicate to them, in this article you will find indoor plants that need little light and little care. With a little dirt, water and a lot of love, your home will look like a real orchard... even if it has little light!


Luckily, there are many strains that are able to live with hardly any light and some basic care.

Plants that need little light and fill your home with life

One of the keys when choosing your plant is that its size adapts to the place where it will be placed.

In a dimly lit interior space, greenery is essential to fill it with life. Here are some of the most well-known and popular:


  • Pothos – one of the most common plants due to its easy maintenance and extreme resistance. This species with a simple and versatile appearance, offers a wide variety of possibilities: hanging from the ceiling, decorating a shelf, guided upwards or letting it grow freely. Have fun giving it different shapes to achieve amazing results! Pothos requires moderately bright environments, but never direct light.
  • Zamimoculcas – The third great choice for decorating dimly lit indoor spaces is the exotic and super resistant Zamioculcas or Crow Plant. It stands out for its resistance and low demand for care. To develop, it prefers semi-shaded areas, as the sun can burn its leaves. As for your need for water, it is enough to water when the soil is dry.
