Looking for shade plant recommendations.

I know pothos and philodendrons are good for these conditions. Anyone else have experience with happy plants in a shady room like this?

honestly, plants that like high humidity and a grow light was the key to success for my old roommates plants in her bathroom, that may give you more options :)

I have a dieffenbachia in my bathroom and it has no windows. He is thriving! I have a ton of new leafs coming

#### Mads replied on 2023-07-03

Awesome! I was looking at dieffenbachias today… I’d like to do a combo pot with a few different varieties.

Ferns! They like higher humidity, but can do okay without as long as you water them regularly. But beware, they can grow big sometimes.

#### Mads replied on 2023-07-03

Lucky me, I just bought a fern today! 😁

Just got done putting this pot together (I know I have a problem… bought 3 new houseplants today for no reason other than I wanted to!)😄

OMG IT’S SO GOOD 😭💕🪴‼️

#### Mads replied on 2023-07-05

Lol thank you! After cruising Etsy for too long I got inspired to do a varietal combos (peperomias, dieffenbachia, begonias…) but I must pace myself!
