ZZ Plant, Snake Plant, Neon Pothos #### GrowingIn2026님이 2026-01-10에 답변했습니다. Great. Thanks so much. #### NewlyGardenObsessed님이 2026-01-13에 답변했습니다. 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 Gardening님이 2026-01-13에 답변했습니다. 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 ### brittrb님이 2026-01-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. You could get grow light for them ### Madison님이 2026-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. ### Dondoo52님이 2026-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 😇 ### Waspinator님이 2026-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Ferns, ficus, some terrestrial orchids, any plant that would be in deep shade forest undergrowth in the wild #### GrowingIn2026님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. Brilliant thank you. #### Tina님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. 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. ### StapeliaSaidWhat님이 2026-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YP0VuzIJT5_F9oHUr5eOaAFUv5oaber_tggAGfg98yo/d9hywQeBRMy6Z96KemujOg.webp?size=large) #### GrowingIn2026님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. This sound very similar to my rooms. Thanks so much. I’ll give it a go. ### GrowingIn2026님이 2026-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 Matter님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. 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. #### Madison님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. 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. #### GrowingIn2026님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. Great. Thank you. #### GrowingIn2026님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다.
