Not every room is filled with sunlight. These houseplants are excellent choices for spaces with lower levels of natural light.
Best Indoor Plants for Low-Light Rooms
A room does not need huge windows to benefit from indoor plants. While every plant needs light, some species are much better at adapting to darker indoor environments.
Zamioculcas Zamiifolia
The ZZ Plant is one of the best options for lower-light rooms. It grows slowly but remains attractive even when it receives less sunlight.
Sansevieria Trifasciata
Snake Plants tolerate a wide range of light levels and are especially useful for offices, bedrooms and hallways.
Epipremnum Aureum
Golden Pothos is highly adaptable and can grow in medium and lower indirect light. Variegation may become less pronounced in darker locations.
Spathiphyllum Wallisii
The Peace Lily can tolerate lower light and is a popular choice for bedrooms and offices. More light generally encourages more flowering.
Dracaena Reflexa
Dracaena is another versatile option for rooms where strong sunlight is limited.
A note about low light
Low-light tolerant does not mean that a plant can survive indefinitely in complete darkness.
Place plants as close to a natural light source as practical, or consider using a suitable grow light in particularly dark spaces.
