I have a little question. I want to get a new plant but the only spaces I have for plants are lots of shade. Does anyone know some plants which would thrive in this environment.

Yes I have considered buying grow lights and honestly that’s probably gonna be the way I’ll go but when I say shade I mean like it will probably only get like 3-4 hours of sunlight a day.

I think a spider plant or ZZ plant could be a good choice

zz plants are good for shade! And if you want a plant that needs more light, you can but a grow light for pretty cheap on Amazon! Hope this helped

The GooingTop LED grow light is a good and popular one to choose, and there’s a gut on TikTok and YouTube that I like, his username in Bengiplant. And he talks about grow lights in some of his videos!
