What plants would be the best in low light and that are relatively small?

Zz plant, snake plant, dieffenbachia (they can get big so it depends on the one you find)

### ToPlantHarmony commented on 2023-12-20

Hahnii snake plants

Zz and snake plants will do great with barely any light. Some peperomia don’t need a ton of light and stay pretty small. Also hoya will usually do ok in lower light.

I have snake, ZZ, and spider all in my windowless office.

Windowless?! Really? Do you ever bring them to a brighter location for a period of time?

#### Lindsay in PA replied on 2023-12-20

Nope. Just office lighting. I’m in an interior office and they have zero windows. I bought these specifically due to that.

#### Holly replied on 2024-01-09

Wow! I had no idea they could survive in those conditions!

There are 3 new shoots growing.

My co-worker just got me the little light for Christmas. They’ve been looking great without it though. Zero windows in my office.
