“I ordered the 5 pack low-light bundle for my office and love them all! Easy ordering, quick shipping, securely packaged. I WANT MORE!!! :) ”
Very Low Maintenance
The great thing about low light plants is the simplicity in caring for them! They aren't high maintenance and don't require much attention at all!
As the name states, they don't need much light to do well, nor do they have rigorous watering routines, making it the best plant type for beginners and busy people!
Improve Your Living Space
Nothing Livens up a space more than live plants! Especially when the time of the year for us Canadians comes around when it gets darker earlier and earlier!
Having some plants around your home or work space is a quick and easy way to brighten moods and keep an area looking better and more eye-catching than without plants!
Here Are The Top 5 Best Plants For Low Light Areas
Plant #1
1. Snake Plant
Snake Plants come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are one of the best house plants for beginners! Known for its tolerance to drought, capable of going for weeks without water, and tolerance to low lighting conditions, the Snake Plant truly thrives on neglect.
As an added bonus, the Snake Plant even purifies the air around it, removing toxins like benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from its surroundings.
2. ZZ Plant
Another all-star plant, the ZZ Plant, aka Madagascar Jewel plant is super easy-going. Its ultra low maintenance care needs give it the ability to grow in all sorts of conditions.
The ZZ plant also thrives on neglect and has been coveted for decades for its attractive glossy foliage.
3. Rattlesnake Calathea
Calathea lancifolia gets its nickname "Rattlesnake Plant" from its wavy snake-like leaves. There’s nothing poisonous about the Rattlesnake Plant - it is non-toxic to pets.
These plants love partially shaded areas that receive light, dappled sunlight. They are also sensitive to frost and cold drafts - keep away from drafty windows in the winter.
4. Golden Pothos
Everyone's favourite fuss-free, low-light tolerant plant. Perfect for beginner growers or those who want to add a little greenery to a shady corner. Pothos is a staple in every collection because of its ability to survive in just about any environment.
It's remained a fan favourite for so long that its inherited multiple nicknames over the decades: Devil's Ivy, Ceylon Creeper, Hunter's Robe, Ivy Arum, Money Plant, Silver Vine, Solomon Islands Ivy, Taro Vine, the list goes on!
5. Assorted Ivy
Ivy is a very famous decorative plant that grows on trees and walls. They have been a symbol of good luck, friendship and true love since ancient times, making them very popular for ornamental purposes.
Ivies love indirect to bright sunlight. One thing to take note of is Ivies can be prone to crispy leaves if your space is too dry.

A quick and friendly reminder that all house plants will require sunlight in order to photosynthesize to survive. Though some can survive for a little while without sunlight, they will not thrive and will eventually die.
The plants mentioned above are a great starting point for your shady corners but you should still avoid putting them completely out of reach of any sunlight.
