I have two ‘dark’ rooms, Any suggestions of anything that might cope? Thanks in advance. ## 17 commenti ### Dipshit Gardening ha commentato il 2026-01-10 ZZ Plant, Snake Plant, Neon Pothos #### GrowingIn2026 ha risposto il 2026-01-10 Great. Thanks so much. #### NewlyGardenObsessed ha risposto il 2026-01-13 You know what’s funny? My snake plant is in a fairly bright room but in a dark corner and she’s doing great! But Planta says she’s placed too dark! I was surprised because I thought they didn’t need much light. #### Dipshit Gardening ha risposto il 2026-01-13 Planta is a little too general with its lighting requirements in my opinion. Plus there's a difference where plants can survive vs thrive. There's more than just direct, partial, and shade in lighting. One of my few issues with Planta ### brittrb ha commentato il 2026-01-10 You could get grow light for them ### Madison ha commentato il 2026-01-11 No plant can grow in darkness. Even low light tolerant plants like ZZ plants need to receive at least 100-200 foot candles to grow which dark rooms can’t provide. I’d recommend using grow lights. ### Dondoo52 ha commentato il 2026-01-11 My snake plants or my ZZ did not survive in low light conditions. People say they can but they don’t do well. Very slow growth and very susceptible to being overwatered. I would also recommend grow lights 😇 ### Waspinator ha commentato il 2026-01-11 Ferns, ficus, some terrestrial orchids, any plant that would be in deep shade forest undergrowth in the wild #### GrowingIn2026 ha risposto il 2026-01-11 Brilliant thank you. #### Tina ha risposto il 2026-01-11 These would have the best chance but bear in mind that even in deeply shaded forest undergrowth, those plants are still receiving far more light than they would in a dark room. A leaf completely in the “dark shade” under a tree could still easily be receiving 150-300 PPFD, which is what I keep my grow lights at for “low” light plants like velvet anthuriums. ### StapeliaSaidWhat ha commentato il 2026-01-11 I’ve been putting cuttings of an old philodendron brasil in dark corners for years 😆 the leaves are never very big, but the variegation is still present and it’s sooo easy! This corner gets scant light from a north facing window 5 ft away and a medium-sized south facing window 20 ft away. Good luck and have fun experimenting! ![Allegato 1 di 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YP0VuzIJT5_F9oHUr5eOaAFUv5oaber_tggAGfg98yo/d9hywQeBRMy6Z96KemujOg.webp?size=large) #### GrowingIn2026 ha risposto il 2026-01-11 This sound very similar to my rooms. Thanks so much. I’ll give it a go. ### GrowingIn2026 ha commentato il 2026-01-11 I’m not sure how I feel about the aesthetic of grow lights. I’ll see how I get on. Thank you though. #### Plant Lives Matter ha risposto il 2026-01-11 Completely relate to this sentiment. I’d recommend Soltech. Their lights look like actual decor. You could also buy a simple grow bulb and put it in a regular lamp or mount grow strips under bookshelves. I did these things for many years because I’m also more focused on interior design. #### Madison ha risposto il 2026-01-11 I like to buy grow bulbs and then put them in cute lamps so it looks normal! I second the recommendation for Soltech if you can spring for them; they’re pricey but definitely high quality and worth it. #### GrowingIn2026 ha risposto il 2026-01-11 Great. Thank you. #### GrowingIn2026 ha risposto il 2026-01-11 Brilliant thank you --- _Fonte: la community di Planta (https://getplanta.com). La lettura è aperta a tutti.
