Low Light House Plants – Bring the Outdoors In, Even in Dark Corners

Do you have a dark apartment or home? Or maybe you just want to add a touch of greenery to your space without having to worry about your plants getting enough sun. If so, low light house plants are the perfect solution for you.  

I don’t have very good luck with plants— Okay, I stink. I’ve been wanting to get a few low light house plants and decided to share with you what I found out and some I’m interested in getting. 

Low light house plants are those that can thrive in areas with indirect or low levels of sunlight. This makes them ideal for homes with limited natural light, or for people who simply don’t have the time or energy to care for plants that require a lot of sun exposure.

Here are some tips for caring for low light house plants: 

— Place your plants in a spot that receives indirect sunlight. 

— Water your plants when the soil is dry to the touch. 

— Fertilize your plants once a month during the spring and summer. 

— Mist your plants regularly, especially if you live in a dry climate. 

Here are some additional tips for caring for low light house plants: 

— Choose plants that are native to tropical or subtropical regions. These plants are typically adapted to low light conditions. 

— Avoid placing your plants in direct sunlight, even if they are labeled as “low light” plants. Too much sunlight can scorch their leaves. 

— Water your plants regularly, but don’t overwater them. Low light conditions can lead to root rot, so it’s important to let the soil dry out between waterings. 

— Fertilize your plants once a month during the spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer that is diluted to half strength. 

— Mist your plants regularly, especially if you live in a dry climate. This will help to keep their leaves moist and prevent them from drying out. 

I think I will choose 2-3 plants to start off and we’ll see what happens. With proper care, your low light house plants will thrive for years to come. So don’t be afraid to bring some greenery into your home, even if you don’t have a lot of natural light.
