Potted plants that need little light
Do you have houseplants at your home? Green plants and flowering potted plants create a homely atmosphere and have a positive effect on the indoor climate. So they are a clever and cool decoration idea that we highly recommend. And if you think that only old ladies and retirees understand a lot about plants and can nurture them properly, then you are definitely wrong.
There are also easy-care plant species that you could easily maintain as a beginner.
Already, you have no excuse that you have no indoor plants, because the following potted plants are robust and need no special care or a special location. They can also thrive in shady areas. And if you forget to water them regularly, do not worry, they will not die so easily. Should we take a look which house plants need little light? We present a small list of six plant species for dark rooms.
Which house plants need little light? The following six room plant species are easy to care for and thrive even in dark rooms

4. Efeutute, Epipremnum Pinnatum
The Efeutute, still called Monstera, is a popular vine that tolerates no direct sunlight. A too dark location is also not suitable for this houseplant. Find a nice half-shady place for them, so that their leaves do not discolour.
