Plant parenting is fun, overall – and indoor plants have many science-backed benefits, such as reducing stress levels, boosting your productivity, and improving the quality of indoor air. Aside from all these perks, however, it’s up to you to determine your plant’s survival, and you can do so with the following tip. There are different factors to take into consideration with this objective, including light absorption. Even though certain plants need more light than others, there are common houseplants that require little light at all. Check out the list below.
Snake Plants
Snake Plants are a natural choice for any amateur gardener. That’s because these sturdy plants require very little of their owners to keep growing! Snake Plants grow upward, resulting in a modern, simplistic look. Plus, you can somewhat control how large they grow by monitoring their sunlight intake. Promote slow, controlled growth by keeping them out of direct sunlight, or follow the opposite advice for a more lively, full plant.
Golden Pothos
Also known as the “Devil’s Ivy,” Golden Pothos are known for being resistant to death. In fact, these plants can thrive in nearly any condition – even under harsh fluorescent lighting or in dark corners of your apartment home. The Golden Pothos has a crisp green color perfect for perking up your space, and because the plant looks great in a traditional or hanging planter, you can play with either option for a trendy look.
Monstera Deliciosa
You might not know this plant by name, but you’ve surely seen it all over social media feeds. The Monstera Deliciosa, also known as the “Swiss Cheese Plant” because of the holes in its leaves, has large, heart-shaped palm leaves and is native to tropical climates. This plant looks incredible and is also incredibly easy to care for, thanks to its ability to withstand low light and semi-dry conditions.
