It is such a low maintenance plant much like
an even-tempered woman who does not need any fussing over but still
maintains its sweet nature. It needs very low light, average temperature
and humidity and just occasional watering.
Other plants that do not need much light
Low-light plants are usually defined as those
that can survive in 25 to 75 foot candles - that is, a spot that is 4 to
5 metres from a bright window, just enough light to read by
comfortably, but where artificial lighting switched on by day would give
a brightening effect.
You can easily find the Aspidistra in your
local garden center nursery. In addition, five other plants that will
suit very low light situations are the following:
Drachaena deremensis varieties (also know as
Happy or Fortune Plants) which are slender leafed and usually white
variegated. The Drachaena family are caney plants crested with
decorative rosettes of straplike foliage.
Neanthe Bella or Parlor Palm which is more suited to low light situations than most palms.
If you are finding it difficult to find a
plant that will brighten up that dark corner, why not try one of these
hardy and lovely favorites of mine?
