Low light plants (1 Viewer)

[Kristy]

I remember on my first post for Helpful House plants that @Brooke was looking for low light plants. Today I just so happened to plant some as replacements for a few I lost.

1. Pilea sprucceana "Silver Tree"

• Fertilize every month
• Temps should be 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit
• High water usage, but best to keep too dry than too wet
• Likes indirect low light
• Has a fast growth rate and only gets to a max of 12 inches
• Roots easily from cuttings
• Not for human or animal consumption

2. Fittonia argyroneura "Superba"

• Easy to grow
• Fertilize monthly
• Temps should be 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit
• Medium water usage
• Likes indirect low light
• Likes high humidity-perfect for terrariums or bottle gardens
• Has fast growth rate
• Propagates easily from leaf-tip cuttings
• Not for human or animal consumption

3. Syngonium podophyllum "Holly" aka
Arrowhead Plant

• Easy to grow
• Fertilize every month
• Temps should be 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit
• Medium water usage-dry out between
• Likes indirect low light
• Prefers high humidity
• Propagate through cuttings which easily root in water
• As they grow they get into a climbing habit
• Not for human or animal consumption

4. Dracaena bravnii "Lucky Bamboo"

• Easy to grow
• Likes indirect light-too much light burns leaves
• Does not need much fertilization
• Can grow in water or soil-if in water do a complete water change every few weeks and try to use distilled or filtered water
• Propagate through vegetative propagation
• Popular Feng Shui plant
• Actually not a member of bamboo family

@Brooke i just wanted to make sure you could see the options and I included the botanical names so they may be easier for you to find.

@Linda so glad I could help give you ideas too
