Have a Dark Corner? 35 Low-Light Plants for Your Home

For the novice gardener, keeping a plant alive seems like a relatively easy task: give your leafy green some water, expose it to lots of light, and your foliage will thrive. But, in reality, being a successful plant parent is a more nuanced endeavor. Case in point: Some species don't even like bright, direct sunlight; instead, they thrive in shady spots.

While finding the appropriate leafy option for your lighting conditions might seem a tad confusing, low-light plants do come with a handful of perks. Not only do they have the power to dress up a drab corner, but they also level the playing field for those who are not blessed with beaming, sun-drenched windows. (Plus, many plants can do everything from reduce harmful toxins to reduce stress levels.)

So, where to begin? To help, we’re sharing 35 low-light plants that will brighten your space in no time. From recommendations from Bloomscape’s Joyce Mast to personal picks, one thing’s for sure: The assortment below is full-bloom brilliance.
