The popular Pothos is again very similar to the Aglaonema in that low light places will mean any variegated types will retain their attractive markings fairly well and not fade or change colour to a great extent.
My excuse is that I want some greenery in these spots and they're literally the only ones that will take such low light levels. Yes, you don't need to tell me, I already know I'm a very bad person. The other grows on top of a cupboard in a windowless landing.Īlthough both plants have done well in these spots, they've not produced any new leaves (or at least any that I can remember).īoth are perfectly fulfilling the definition of a surviving rather than thriving plant. One in a small bathroom with no windows, where the only light comes from a window in a nearby bedroom.
The Peace Lily in the photo above is enjoying bright indirect light, but two of mine are being grown in the lowest low light locations I have. Peace Lily - Potentially the most famous houseplant in the world to grow in low light conditions. It's also easy for them to be overwatered so take care with how much you give and ensure your Ivy is growing in well drained soil. They prefer cool rather than warm locations and warmth will just encourage their arch-enemy the Spider Mite to set up home and completely strip your plant. It might not be the best plant for you if you like your home on the very warm side or you live in a modern building. In many ways, it's the ideal indoor climber. It can put up with loads and still happily slither and clamber over pretty much anything. English Ivy could well be the perfect match for you. Trust us when we say there is nothing more sorry looking than a bald Boston Fern! You need a brighter spot in order for new leaves to grow.
The leaf loss, hinted at above, can be quite common and if the light levels are low then new growth to replace what's been lost will be slow or non-existent.
Boston Fern in a blue bucket by bfishadowĪlthough adaptable to low light, it should ideally be grown in a medium-low light (or brighter), rather than low-low light.
