Nearly care-free: the best flowers for dark rooms

To tell you the truth, the rooms of our homes are not the most illuminated areas of space. Both in a city apartment and in a private house, it can be too dark to grow indoor plants.

However, the right selection of species will help solve this problem. With them, you can easily create a lush home garden, even if you live in a dark house. TikTok blogger themediterraneangardener, who shares gardening tips with his subscribers, told us what flowers you should pay attention to. And here are his top five.

Zamioculcas

This plant feels great in rooms that really lack natural light. "Thanks to its glossy vertical evergreen leaves, it can cope with a lack of water and will grow in low light," the blogger explained.

Dracaena Marginata

This beautiful plant with tough, bright leaves will look lush even in a dark room. According to the blogger, it retains water in its trunk, so it does not require special care and feels great in low light. However, it is worth noting that this dracaena can be toxic to pets, so it is better to keep it out of reach.

Philodendron

This variety, known for its heart-shaped leaves, has a wonderful curling property, so it can be cascaded from a height or directed upward by the stems. It is also an ideal plant for beginners, as it is extremely hardy for different conditions and quickly produces new leaves, acquiring an impressive length.

Graceful Chamaedorea

This species is another great choice for beginners, as it is difficult to harm Chamedorea. This compact indoor palm can withstand not only low light but also a dry atmosphere. Instead, it purifies the air in the house and removes toxins, so it may be worth placing it even in the bedroom near the bed.

 Maranta leuconeura

This houseplant has an interesting property of rolling up its leaves at night.  Maranta is a bit whimsical, but the effort of growing it is worth it because its decorative properties are truly outstanding. This is ideal if you want to add a little more color to your space, as the leaves have bright red veins with a pink underside, and they can also be trained to creep or grow horizontally.
