List Of Low-Light Houseplants to Decorate Home Interior

Are you searching for the best low-light indoor plants to grow in a dark corner of your house? There are numerous alternatives, many of which originate in tropical areas. Deep in the jungle, blazing sunshine is blocked off by leaves, vines, and trees before reaching the jungle floor, resulting in an abundance of shade-loving plants of all kinds. Windows that face air shafts, tall buildings, and curbside trees, while significantly less beautiful, actually imitate this low light.

Purchase your houseplants with this in mind. When you're shopping for them, keep a tropical mindset in mind—they'll thrive with a little tender loving care. (Don't worry; this kind of TLC is simple: because more shadow means slower growth rates and slower evaporation of water in the soil, you'll actually water them less than full-sun plants.) Discover 31 shade-loving indoor plants that will thrive in dim and shady conditions, as well as care instructions.

ZZ PLANT
The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), also known as the "eternity plant," is one of the most hardy indoor houseplants available.
It can not only thrive in low light, but it can also withstand drought!

Avoid overwatering it (look for yellowing leaves) and handle it with caution because its juices have been known to irritate human skin.

CHINESE EVERGREEN
For beginners, Chinese evergreens are an excellent “first-time” indoor plant. They can thrive in low light, are drought tolerant, and tolerate dry air.

When fully grown, they can produce blossoms that resemble calla lilies and, when planted on the floor, can help to fill up empty spaces of your home.

Plants that are younger can also be placed on table tops and stands.

The secret is that the darker the leaves are, the more light they prefer. So, if you're working with a gloomy setting, go for a lighter leaf kind.

DRACAENA
While there are over 50 species of Dracaena, the Dracaena Massangeana has a tree-like appearance and works well as floor decor.
They are a natural air cleanser and prefer bright (indirect) sunshine.

CAST IRON PLANT
The Cast Iron Plant is exceptionally hardy; the only dangers are overwatering and frequent replanting.

They are sluggish to grow but extremely difficult to kill.

To keep it in good shape, wipe the dust off its leaves with a moist cloth once a week.

Aloe vera
Aloe vera plants are ideal for compact places, and their leaves can even be used to treat pain and burns. Though it gets some indirect light, direct sunshine dries out the leaves of this succulent.

White snake Plant
Snake plants, also known as mother-in-tongue, law's thrive when fertilised in the spring and summer. To avoid root rot, make sure the soil is completely dry between waterings.

Red aglaonema
These brightly coloured plants are relatives to the Chinese evergreen and shine brightest in medium light. The leaves of red aglaonema burn easily in direct sunshine, despite their red tint.
Parlor palm
These full-foliage plants have the appearance of miniature shrubs, making them ideal for filling in empty spaces in otherwise minimalist rooms. Overwatering these plants will quickly destroy them, so only water them once or twice a month.

Sago palm
These leafy plants are older and more hardy than dinosaurs, but they don't take damp well. Sago palm blossoms can be fostered with monthly fertiliser treatments, albeit they are uncommon.

Oyster plant
This no-fuss house plant, also known as Moses-in-the-cradle, doesn't grow particularly tall, making it ideal for tabletops or desks. To prevent direct sunlight, place the plant in a north-facing or east-facing window.
Dieffenbachia
These eye-catching low-light houseplants make a big impression in any area, yet they thrive when not overwatered. Rotate the plant on a regular basis to ensure that it receives constant light from all sides.
Heartleaf philodendron

This charming houseplant is exceedingly easy to care for and, if left to grow unchecked, will produce long vines. To encourage the vines to drape, place the plant on a bookcase or shelf.
Rex begonia

The rex begonia is a one-of-a-kind plant that can be difficult to care for yet thrives in low-light conditions. It's best not to mist the leaves because it can cause spots and discolouration.
Dracaena limelight

This colourful plant grows slowly and maintains its colour best in low-light conditions. Allow the soil to dry between waterings, but don't forget to mist the leaves.
Philodendron silver

In ideal indoor conditions, these silver-spotted plants can produce vines up to 10 feet long. Trim as needed to keep overgrowth and long vines at bay.
Arrowhead plant

The leaves of this moisture-loving plant change shape as the plant ages — immature plants have a “arrowhead” shape. Allow the plant to dry out completely between waterings for the best results.
What plant needs the least amount of light?
While most of the indoor plants that require no light described here can survive in small quantities of indirect light, I recommend starting with a fern or a terrarium with some moss if you're looking for one that could just about thrive in a closet.

Ferns and moss are well-known for living in the dark forests beneath the canopy of the trees and may thrive in low-light conditions.

Plant Stands for Indoor Plants

Indoor plants that are little or medium in size look best when exhibited on a plant stand.
Plant stands come in different shapes and sizes, so you should have no trouble finding one that matches the rest of your home's design.
conclusion
You could have the idea that plants require more sunshine to survive. However, this is not always the case. Some indoor plants require low or dim lighting in order to thrive. They, too, can easily survive in the dark. These low-light houseplants don't require a lot of attention or care. They don't even need to be watered on a regular basis; they only need water sometimes. In this post, we've compiled a list of the best low-light indoor plantsto brighten up the dark corners of your home.
