Top 7 ideal plants for a dark interior

1. The unkillable  : SANSEVIERIA

Sansevieria, also called Mother-in-law's Tongue or Snake Plant, is very interesting to have indoors. Resistant to all types of exposure, although it does not tolerate full sun, it also requires little water.

2. Autocare  : ZZ

Zamioculcas Zamiifolia is an easy plant to appreciate. It is beautiful, with its long, slender stems adorned with small leaves, and its maintenance is very easy. It must be watered when its soil has completely dried, which can take two weeks or more depending on the size of the pot. But it is also capable of storing water in reserve, and can go without it for a month or more (we still advise against it). And finally, what interests us in this article  : it tolerates less bright spaces, especially the Raven variety, with its sublime black foliage.

3. FALLING  : POTHOS

We at Green Touch are fans of Pothos. We appreciate the variety of species, the different colors, its ease of maintenance, its beautiful vines ... We also like it because the Pothos tolerates dark spaces quite well, except perhaps the Pothos Marble Queen. Although it will grow quickly, will give larger leaves in a bright environment, your Pothos will be just as beautiful in a small shaded corner. Note however that if the leaves of your Pothos Golden are no longer yellow and green but only green, it is because it is indeed lacking light, but it will not die because of that, do not worry.

4./5. PET (and KID) FRIENDLY  : CALATHEA AND MARANTA

Calathea and Maranta, from the Marantaceae family, are magnificent indoor plants, with ornate leaves, tiger-striped, striped, decorated, red, green, purple, we are fans.

6.JUNGLE  : MONSTERA

Monstera, Adansonii and Deliciosa, are our favorite tropical plants, with their large, green, jagged leaves. Although their development strategy in nature is to grow towards the light, using aerial roots to climb tall trees, they manage to survive in somewhat darker spaces. Make sure you still have a window in the room where you want to place it, and don't put it too far from it so that it doesn't grow into a long, leafless vine seeking the light. (heliotropism)

7.UNIQUE  : BRAZIL

Philodendrons have the same characteristics as Monstera, you can also fall for Brazil, and its two-tone foliage, without worry!

Some tips to follow:

Place your plants that need the most light near your windows, but be careful that they are not afraid of the sun's rays or are not affected by them. You can also buy  grow lights if you want to buy certain varieties in particular. For example, Alocasia are plants that need bright light, and risk dying if they do not receive it.
