💡 How to Know if Your Space Counts as “Low-Light”
Most people underestimate their lighting — or overthink it.
Here’s a simple checklist:
-
No direct sun touches the leaves
-
You can see comfortably during the day without turning on a lamp
-
You have a north-facing window
-
Your windows are shaded by trees or nearby buildings
-
Bright-light plants have failed you in the past 😅
If you check even one of these, low-light plants are your new best friends.
🌼 Tips to Keep Low-Light Plants Thriving
Even though these plants are easy, a little extra love goes a long way. Try these plant-pro tips:
-
Rotate your plants so all sides get light and grow evenly.
-
Water less often — low-light plants grow slower and use less water.
-
Use airy, fast-draining soil to prevent rot.
-
Dust leaves weekly so they can absorb more light.
-
Try a small grow light if you want bigger, faster growth (especially for Micans + Syngoniums).
✨ Want ready-to-go soil?
Our organic mixes are designed for indoor plants and prevent overwatering issues.
🌿 Create Your Dream Low-Light Corner
A beautiful home doesn’t require perfect windows.
Layer tall, dramatic plants like Aglaonemas with trailing beauties like Micans and patterned Scindapsus to create a soft, calming, cozy aesthetic that instantly elevates any room.
Try this easy combo:
-
1 tall Aglaonema for structure
-
1 trailing Philodendron Micans for movement
-
1 patterned Scindapsus for texture
-
1 Syngonium for color
✨ Add a neutral pot, a warm lamp, or a textured basket — and suddenly your dark corner becomes your favorite spot in the house.
