Plants for a room without light

3 min de lecture
Les plantes pour une piĂšce sans lumiĂšre - La Green Touch

If your apartment lacks light but you still want to green your rooms, we have the solution! Indeed, nature is once again very well done, since there are varieties of indoor plants that find happiness in a dark or subdued interior. Although we often think that green plants need light to flourish fully, this is actually a misconception. Indeed, certain varieties of indoor plants prefer shade rather than light so as not to dry out.

Easy maintenance

The good news for those of you who don't necessarily have a green thumb ? The majority of indoor green plants that do not require a lot of light to grow also do not require much maintenance. So, watering once a week or once every two weeks is generally enough to keep these varieties of houseplants in good shape.

Green plants and colorful

If you also want to bring a touch of color to your dimly lit or subdued interior, know that there are also, in addition to varieties of indoor green plants, plants full of color which will adapt perfectly to your interior, even if it is dark. For example,Aglaonema, is a very resistant plant from Southeast Asia which does not require a lot of light and which resists the cold very well. The Caladium also, with its pink foliage, can grow very well in a dim or even dark environment. This is also the case for Tradescantia Zebrina, which is very popular for its green and pink zebra leaves.
You can thus bring a colorful touch to your interior, even in your darkest rooms.

Some ideas to inspire you

We have selected for you a few varieties of plants that will thrive in your dark or subdued interior. This selection is obviously not exhaustive, but we have chosen our favorites!

Splathiphyllum is a robust, undemanding and flowering plant! It finds happiness in a partially shaded environment and does not require very regular watering.
The Pothos, also known under the name of Ivy of the devil, is a plant which above all likes shady places, or subdued lights. It will charm you with its long spotted leaves.
The Fittonia is a plant which corresponds perfectly to a dimly lit interior par excellence, and which adapts very well to places without light. With its pretty ribbed leaves and colors, this houseplant needs humidity. So remember to spray its leaves regularly. Fittonia is also a plant very suitable for terrarium, because it needs humidity. The bathroom is the ideal room to accommodate it.
The PIlea Cadiera is a plant which with its silvery reflections, as you will have understood, likes shady places but also humidity. It will therefore also find its place perfectly in your bathroom for example.
The Maranta Leuconeura will successfully decorate your interior without light. Indeed, its beautiful leaves with delicate graphics give it a style all its own.The Maranta will also prefer shade and watering once a week in winter, two to three times in summer.
The Japanese Aralia, also called Fatsia Japonica, has many charms with its large star-shaped leaves. It likes partial shade, and needs to keep the soil moist and fresh, without being soggy. Consider choosing a location where temperatures will remain cool.
The Mother-in-law's tongue, also known as Sansevieria  is a plant from Africa and from India which also does not require direct sunlight and which can adapt very well to a dark environment. In addition, it does not require very frequent watering.
The Dieffenbachia does mainly in partial shade and likes to be misted regularly. This houseplant has pretty patterns on its leaves.
Another possibility, the Adiatum is a plant which risks burning in the sun and which therefore needs a shady environment. It likes humidity and freshness.
Finally, the Calathea is the perfect plant if you want to add color to your dimly lit interior.
