The 25 Best Indoor Plants that Don’t Need Much Light
Wanting to fill your home with more plants? Have a lot of dimly lit areas in your home? I have a list of plants for you that fit the bill.
When shopping, you want to focus on tropical plants. Why? In the jungle, these plants thrived in plenty of shade provided by tall trees, vines, and leaves. Tall buildings and trees in other climates can serve the same purpose, shielding these household plants from hot, direct sunlight. The best part? They won’t need as much water as your other plants.
Here they are:
ZZ Plant
Pothos
Snake Plant
Prayer Plant
Bird’s Nest Fern
Monstrera
Oyster Plant
Staghorn Fern
Creeping Fig
Baby Rubber Plant
Lucky Bamboo
Aglaomena
English Ivy
Spider Plant
Bromeliads
Nerve Plant
Rattlesnake Plant
Dracaena
Jewel Orchid
Dancing Bones Cactus
Peace Lily
Rex Begonia
Kokodama
Red Anthurium
Heart Leaf Philodentron
Some of my favorite online shops to buy from are The Sill, Etsy, and Terrain, but you can find these tropical plants at local nurseries or even Home Depot.
