Are There Variable Low Light Indoor Plants?

Christmas cactus ordinarily has to be in darkness for 12 hours in order to bloom, which is why it makes for a very good low light indoor plant. Its flowers are in varying colors of red, pink, orange, and violet. Like any other cactus, Christmas cactus is easy to grow.

2. Dieffenbachia

Dieffenbachia grows tall, whose broad leaves have green and white variegations. Though it commonly prefers bright light, it still does well under low light conditions. Dieffenbachia is a poisonous plant. It produces a sap that, if accidentally tasted, can make the throat and mouth to swell. Hence, the nickname dumb cane. 

3. Ferns

Although some ferns prefer bright light, most ferns are the easy choice for low light settings. Some of these low light varieties are silver lace fern, rochford holly fern, and birds nest fern. Silver lace fern, as the name implies, has silver-green fronds and does well even with the lowest light. Rochford holly fern has sturdy, leathery fronds, while birds nest fern has apple-colored and spoon-shaped leaves. 

4. Peace Lily

Among the low light indoor plants, peace lily is one of the few that flowers on a regular basis. Its small, white flowers are scented and its leaves are big and dark green in color. Peace lily requires little maintenance, only needing a certain level of humidity and watering. Yet, even with no maintenance at all, peace lily manages to survive and blooms.  

5. Snake Plant

Also called mother-in-law’s tongue, snake plant is sturdy, making it adaptable to possibly all kinds of conditions. Whether with bright light or low light, snake plant is likely to survive. And among the low light indoor plants, it is probably the one that can endure any form of neglect: irregular watering, heat exposure, and the likes. Snake plant has slender, erect leaves in green and yellow combination and grows up to about four feet tall.
