Plants

• Chinese evergreens, dracaenas, cast iron plant and philodendrons are attractive plants that do well without a window nearby. Spathiphyllum, sometimes called the closet plant or peace lily, tolerates less light than any of the other common house plants. Ferns that do well in low light include the Rochford holly fern and the Dallas fern. Palms for low-light conditions include Kentia palm and parlor palm. Indoor palms need more water than other low-light plants.
  
  

Water

• Water plants in low-light conditions sparingly. Plants that don't receive much light don't need as much water as plants in strong light, and allowing them to sit in water causes the roots to rot.
  
  

Occasional Light

• Giving plants that grow in low light a brighter environment from time to time allows them to replenish themselves. Never move a plant that is accustomed to low light into direct sunlight. Instead, allow them some time in a bright room or shaded area outdoors, out of direct sunlight, advises NDSU Extension.
