If your home lacks the natural lighting of your dreams, don’t fret. You can still fill your place with an abundance of greenery for an indoor-outdoor feel thanks to low-light houseplants that don't simply tolerate shady spots but thrive in them.
Many low-light houseplants are tropical varieties native to rainforests or forest floors, where they naturally receive filtered light. These plants thrive near north-facing windows or in consistently shaded areas where other indoor plants won't. While low-light houseplants don't automatically imply low maintenance, there are some low-light houseplants that require minimal care. This can be particularly beneficial for new plant parents or those who live in darker spaces. We suggest starting with an easy-care plant like a spider plant or pothos to gain confidence before expanding your indoor jungle.
Should you be eager for more options to consider, we’ve rounded up 38 of the best low-light houseplants to consider bringing home. Whether you opt for a red anthurium for a pop of color or a baby rubber plant, any of these options will liven up your space.
