If you’re looking for no drainage, have you considered going hydroponic, or at least semi-hydro? That’s growing plants directly in water or combined with something like leca. All plants need light, but some plants that can survive in lower light include zz, pothos, peace Lilly, philodendrons. Snake, and dracaenas. They shouldn’t die, but they won’t grow much.

No drainage + low light is not an ideal situation. A lot of plants can survive, but you’ll have to be super careful about overwatering. I have a ZZ and pothos in a very low light setting, but I supplement with a grow light. Both have drainage tho since I have a tendency to overwater.

Carnivorous plants grow in boggy, damp areas and you can make a bog bowl that doesn’t need any drainage. I love sundew and butterwort plants

Sorry I did mean separate plants lol! I have a cute small pot that doesn’t have drainage I want to put something into. And I want to fill my apartment with more plants where I don’t have windows and such so that’s where I’m curious about plants that don’t need a ton of sun. Thank you all 🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨

“No drainage” plants aren’t really a thing unless you’ve got something like a carnivorous bog plant (e.g Venus Fly Trap), or you’re going completely hydro as Harris said. But if you want it to be in soil then it should be in something that had drainage.  
BUT  
You absolutely can grow everything in pots with no drainage, you just have to make sure you are watering appropriately, and it can be much harder to manage moisture levels and such. So its not really recommended unless you are extremely experienced with watering and what not.

My suggestion would be, find a thrift store, dollarstore, anything super cheap and buy a plastic insert with holes that will fit to the pot you want to use. Makes it easier to manage the water levels and you still get to have it in a pretty pot. (You can even make your own out of plastic containers, just poke a bunch of holes in it!).

As for low light plants, Harris ^^ made good suggestions.
