Love plants but don’t have a sunny garden to flex your green thumb? Getting some indoor plants for your home is the solution. Growing plants indoors has several benefits, including livening up a dull corner and naturally purifying the air. There are quite a few types of low-light indoor plants that can thrive indoors without direct sunlight and with minimal care.
1. Snake plant
The snake plant (Sansevieria species) is a low-maintenance plant that not only looks beautiful but is also an excellent air purifier. They can live in any corner of the home because it only requires dim light. It is an ideal first plant that is relatively cheap and can live for a very long time. 
2. Areca Palm
If you are looking for a tall, leafy plant, the areca palm may be a good fit. If space allows, this plant can grow up to 30 feet. But as long as you keep it in a small container, the size will deteriorate. Make sure you don’t store it in direct sunlight or the leaves will turn yellow. You should also make sure not to overwater this plant – just enough to keep the soil moist.
3. Fern
Ferns are lush plants that will grow well indoors and outdoors. They need moderate levels of sunlight and you need to water the plants daily to ensure the soil is kept moist. They do well in hanging pots, so get some to hang by a sunny window. Ferns have flourished for over 300 million years and are some of the oldest plants in the world. They are known for their ability to survive in different types of environments.
4. Aloe Vera
Maintenance doesn’t get much lower than it does for aloe vera plants. You only need to water this cool plant when the soil is dry. But make sure it is kept by a sunny window. Don’t water it for a few days when the roots have settled down. Aloe vera is known to be used in many DIY beauty regimens such as a homemade face mask. They are also good for removing formaldehyde and benzene (a byproduct of cleaning products, paints, etc.) from the air.
5. Basil
Basil is a great plant to have in a pot on your kitchen windowsill. This little plant helps clean the air. It also has many medicinal properties and can be used in your cooking. All it takes is a little watering and this plant will thrive.
6. Money Plant
One of the most popular low-light indoor plants, the money plant (pothos) is easy to grow in soil and water. It is also known as “devil’s ivy” because it is almost impossible to kill. All you need to do is get a cutting and place it in a pot of water or soil. This plant does not require much sunlight and people keep them all over the house, including the bathroom. They also fit well in a hanging pot as the leaves hang down. According to feng shui principles, keeping money in your home helps create a harmonious and prosperous environment.
7. Lucky Bamboo
The lucky bamboo is not a member of the bamboo family, although the shoots look similar, but is actually a member of the Dracaena genus. These are usually grown in water and much like the money plant, these plants are also extremely low maintenance. They do really well in low light, but can also thrive in shadier areas. According to feng shui practices, lucky bamboo plants bring happiness and prosperity to the owner, especially if it was gifted by someone.
