Houseplants that tolerate dark and dimly lit corners

All plants need a minimum amount of light to thrive, but some species are particularly well-suited to environments where natural light is limited. These so-called "shade-tolerant" plants thrive in north-facing rooms, hallways, windowless bathrooms, or corners far from windows. First things first:

🪴 Tips for Success with Your Plants in Dark Corners 🪴

Rotation : Turn them from time to time to prevent them from leaning towards the light.

Additional lighting : If the room is really dark, adding a grow light can be beneficial.

Moderate watering : Low light slows growth, so water needs also decrease.

Cleaning the leaves : dust them regularly to optimize their ability to capture light.
