Looking for a plant for my super low light corner. It’s killed a tradescantia and now this ponytail palm is struggling. I thought a ponytail palm was a low light plant but I was shocked when it didn’t do well in this spot

Why not get a grow light?

Some plants may tolerate low light but I don’t know of any that thrive in it

### clefarie kommenterade den 2025-12-02

most low light plants still need a source of brighter, indirect light, so id recommend a grow light. like others have said many plants can \*survive\* in very low light but they're not going to look as good

A grow light would definitely help, but if you can't do that, try a fern, small hosta, or jewel orchid. You want plants that are not just shade tolerant, but that naturally prefer deep shade in the wild

I would try a peace lily

Chinese evergreen’s like minimal light
