Plants that thrive in indirect light
Everyone loves green plants, but it is not always easy to find the right place in the home for them to thrive. The solution we propose are plants that thrive in the shade and can cope indirect light! These easy-care plants are true survivors and are perfect for those who do not have a home with bright windows or lots of sunlight.
Can a plant get too much light?
In fact, many common indoor green plants actually prefer to be out of direct sunlight. Too much light can burn the leaves and cause them to lose their beautiful green color. Plants such as climbing calla or a classic palm plant in a pot are examples of plants that can tolerate darkness, although they will not thrive as well as in indirect light. An example of a shadowy or dark light level is a bathroom, hall without windows or basement.

Tips for success
Plants that stand in the shade often need a soil that does not hold too much moisture, to avoid root rot (root rot). If it's really dark, you can also invest in indoor plant lighting to boost your green plants. Plants in the shade also need less water because they don't dry out as quickly as plants in direct sun.
