They practically don't need light! 6 plants that do well in dark corners of an apartment

In fashion magazines, you almost never find window sills occupied with indoor flowers. Do you know why? It's that simple! In them, "green friends" are always placed in the back of the room, where they play the role of a bright decorative element, and not a barrier that blocks the only source of sunlight. The question arises: how do plants survive in such conditions? Easily!

Good afternoon dear friends!

To do this, you just need to correctly select a houseplant that likes to be in the shade. He does not need constant good lighting, weak enough. But, before placing such a “flower” in a corner, I strongly recommend that you check the level of illumination, because he still needs some kind of light. So, take a book, stand in the darkest part of the room and read a few words. Happened? Super!

Now you can safely purchase one of the six plants below.

1.Bromelia. There are tropical plants that require very little light for full life! And bromeliad is one of those. She feels good only in diffused lighting, but direct light can burn her leaves. She also needs fresh air, so the room will have to be ventilated more often.

Bromeliad blooms for a very long time, up to several months. Therefore, she can often be found on the covers of fashion magazines about interior design and architecture.

2.Fragrant maidenhair. It is also sometimes called the Venus Hair. Like all ferns, he loves shade, fresh air and moisture. Therefore, it is advisable to regularly spray the maidenhair (its leaves) with clean water, and periodically ventilate the room in which it is located.

This is one of those plants that thrive in windowless rooms. For example, you can safely place it in your bathroom or toilet.

3.Ficus pumila. This ficus belongs to dwarf plants with creeping shoots. It cleans the indoor air very well. In addition, according to the state of its leaves, one can judge the level of air humidity; in an arid "climate", the ficus begins to fade.

In diffused lighting and in partial shade, the ficus feels great. It can be placed on the northern windowsill or placed in the back of the room. But the ideal place for this habitat would be a bathroom, which has a small window.

4.Calathea. Nature has amazingly decorated the wide leaves of this flower, turning them into a colorful outfit. The bracts look especially beautiful, but the flowers are inconspicuous. Calathea comes from the humid tropics, so it's used to dusk and moisture. If she is uncomfortable, then you will immediately understand this by the state of her leaves. As they will curl up into a tube and begin to dry out around the edges.

Calathea is a demanding and capricious plant, does not tolerate drought, cold and inattention to oneself. So she will not stand an inept "boyfriend"!

5.Arrowroot is white-necked. A perfect example for decorating dark corners and poorly lit spaces! To which the direct sun is contraindicated. But heat and moisture, on the contrary, it loves very much, like many other inhabitants of tropical forests. Therefore, if you chose it for decoration, then try to monitor the humidity in the apartment and the absence of drafts.

By the way, arrowroot is one of those plants that can grow in a closed bottle or aquarium.

6.Peperomia. If you've never owned a houseplant, then peperomia is a great option to start your floricultural experience. It is not whimsical: moderate humidity, watering once every 10 days in summer, in winter only once every 20-30 days. The most ideal place for her will be the kitchen, as it is always warm there.

And again, they are extremely sensitive to light, so when placing the peperomia on the window sill, you will have to close it with a curtain. That's all!
