Indoor plant suggestions

[geoffyd]

I'm looking for plant suggestions for my tiny, low light apartment. I love plants--especially big, leafy ones, but they don't seem to love me back. Any advice for plants that would fare well in this environment?

I think I have several suggestion you could find useful:

Peperonia

Chinese Evergreen

Dieffenbachia

Snake Plant

Philodendron

Arrowhead Vine

 

[Trellum]

I hope you like my suggestions Most of those plants require low to middle light and make perfect indoors plants. So I think you will find what you're looking for here If you would like more suggestions, then let me know!

How about Kalanchoes? They don't need much light and they look really pretty:

Philodendron is a good one as are spider plants. They are durable, not terribly fussy and cuttings root quickly. Spathophilium (Peace Lily) is another one as are a number of the ivies. Plenty of durable houseplants are out there that meet your criteria.

My suggestion is also a snake plant, my daughter who is not a plant person has not been able to do harm to her snake plant. I often have to remind her to give the poor plant some light, she likes to stick the poor plant in a corner where the light is very poor. Snake plants are very strong and durable.

The Cast Iron plant, Aspidistra elatoir, is a very good candidate and that I suggest you give it a try.

It is a very hardy plant (as the common name implies) and it tolerates very low light conditions. As for watering, this plant does not need to be water excessively. As for myself, I do rather keep it on the dry side.

The only set back that I foresee, is that it might be difficult at times to find it in garden centres. Unfortunately this plant has been out of fashion in these last few years.
