5 Houseplants That Will Grow Better in the Shadow. Especially for dark rooms

The windows of your apartment or house face the shady side, and you so want to decorate the windowsills with flowers? In this article, I will talk about plants that grow beautifully in the shade.

Of course, no plant can do without sunlight. But still, there are species that grow well in low light conditions and even delight with flowering.

To the delight of many, I can say that there are a lot of such plants. These are both decorative leafy species and flowering ones - not all flowers need bright light in order to drive out the buds.

Sansevieria

The people call this flower "Mother-in-law's language". It can be safely attributed to the most unpretentious indoor plants. It grows well both in the shade and in the sun, it is resistant to low air humidity, drafts and occasional watering.

Sansevieria is a plant that does not require annual replanting while remaining healthy and attractive. The height of the flower can reach 1.2 m.

Sansevieria has sharp, dark green leaves with light stripes pointing upwards.

Neanta is beautiful

The plant is a house palm with slender trunks that can reach heights of up to 1.5 meters. Neanta grows well in both shaded rooms and well-lit rooms. It doesn't really matter to her.

The main factor for it is the high humidity in the room. The palm tree adds attractiveness to the interior.

Chlorophytum crested

A very not capricious plant that does not need constant sunlight. Chlorophytum can grow even in remote corners of the room without experiencing stress.

A huge plus of this plant is that it perfectly cleans the air from harmful impurities.

Spathiphyllum

This flower not only blooms beautifully, regularly delighting me with snow-white inflorescences, but also perfectly tolerates being in a dimly lit room.

It is necessary to protect the plant from direct sunlight and take care of sufficient humidity in the room. Otherwise, the tips of the leaves will begin to turn yellow and dry.

Saintpaulia

This variety of violets is a favorite of both experienced florists and beginners. It grows beautifully on western or eastern window sills, while it blooms almost incessantly.

Soft, diffused lighting is best for growing Saintpaulia. Direct rays of the sun can leave burns on the leaves or even destroy the plant.
