Plants are a wonderful way to decorate the interior of your home. Beyond aesthetics, plants are also beneficial to health, as they absorb CO2 to produce oxygen. They help refresh the air in the house, eliminating a good part of the negative substances. This renewed air, free of toxins, will make you feel better at home and will keep you fit. So let’s see what are the best plants to have at home, which do not require a lot of light.
Spathiphyllum
Spathiphyllum is a plant traditionally associated with the nicknames moonflower and peace lily. It is characterized by beautiful white leaves and can reach 1 meter in height. It is a plant native to South America, which grows well in dimly lit spaces.
Indoor azalea
Indoor azalea is one of the most famous in the country. Although it does not require much light, it is not very cold resistant.

Dieffenbachia
Here is another plant from South America that is satisfied with little light to live, and is therefore perfectly suited to home interiors.
sansevieria
This plant, nicknamed the snake plant, has a particular shape that some like and others less. Although it grows faster in bright light, it can adapt perfectly to dimmer environments.
Anthurium
However, this plant with bright red leaves only needs a little sunlight to thrive. Aesthetics and needs adapt perfectly to home furnishings.
clivia
Magnificent plant with orange flowers and a pleasant aroma. It can grow without too much light, but it is still good to take it out from time to time to promote optimal growth.
Aspidistra
It is a robust plant, which can grow even in the darkest places of the house, but which requires a rather cool temperature.
Aglaonema
The Aglaonema, like the Clivia, can live in places with little light, but occasional outings in the sun will do it good. It is advisable to opt for Aglaonema commutatum, which adapts better to the lack of light than other species.

bromeliad
This plant is undoubtedly one of the most suitable for interior decoration. First, its colorful aesthetic seduces; then, its light needs are perfectly adequate (the plant even tends not to tolerate places that are too exposed to light).
Snake tree
We conclude this (non-exhaustive) list with the dracaena, a much taller and more spacious plant than all those mentioned so far, but which still requires little light. Remember to prune it regularly so that it doesn’t take up too much space and grows properly.
