Which plants for dark rooms? Our real and fake solutions

🌱 Real plants that (almost) survive in the dark

Let's be honest: plants need light. It's their food, their fuel, their little ray of existential sunshine.
But some varieties have developed a remarkable ability to adapt to the dark corners of your home. They won't perform miracles, but they will survive without complaining (too much). Here are our champions of plant resistance.

🪴 1. Sansevieria (mother-in-law's tongue)

It's indestructible. It tolerates shade, lack of watering, and emotional neglect. Even if it's forgotten behind a shelf for a month, it won't hold a grudge. Perfect for beginners... or the forgetful.

🌿 2. Zamioculcas zamiifolia (ZZ plant)

Undemanding, bright, and compact, it remains beautiful in all circumstances. It grows slowly, never gives you a crisis, and its glossy leaves add a modern touch to any dreary corner. A true "black-office-at-the-end-of-the-hallway" plant.

💧 3. Spathiphyllum (moon flower)

This one will thank you for the shade with beautiful white flowers, if you give it a little humidity. It loves bathrooms, loves being half-ignored, and makes your guests think you have a green thumb. (Spoiler: no, but we won't say anything.)

🌿 4. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

A friend of every interior. It grows hanging, tolerates little light, forgives irregular watering, and remains beautiful. Be careful, however: too little light = duller foliage. If your room is REALLY dark, it will let you know.

🌵 5. Aspidistra (iron plant)

Its nickname? “Victorian parlor plant.” It has survived generations of dark hallways and poorly heated homes. Ultra-hardy, it grows slowly but surely. A good choice for places where nothing else will grow.

These varieties are perfect for places like:

• Windowless entrances
• The poorly lit corridors
• Stylish toilets (yes, it's a real trend)
• The forgotten corners of your living rooms

In short, where your previous plants died silently.

🚫 False good ideas: these plants that do NOT like shade

Some plants have a reputation for being “easy”… until you put them in a dark corner. Then they make you pay by turning yellow, losing their leaves, or watching you die inside through their wilted stems.

🌿 Monstera deliciosa

An Instagram star, the monstera has some secret requirements: indirect but sufficient light, gentle humidity, and no drafts. In a dark room? Its leaves become smaller, sparse, and its famous tropical look... disappears.

🪴 Calathea

The drama queen. Too much water? She complains. Not enough? She complains. Too dark? She complains AND she closes up like a frustrated diva. It's a beautiful plant... but not for places deprived of light.

🌸 Orchid

Yes, she looks simple and classy in her white bob. But in reality, she needs light (no direct sunlight), patience, love, and a PhD in horticulture. In a dark room? No way.

🌵 Cacti and succulents

A classic mistake: thinking that cacti can withstand anything. Wrong. They love the sun, a lot. In a dark corner, they wither, become pale and limp. A sad fate for desert warriors.

🌿 What if the real solution for dark rooms… was artificial plants?

Yes, we know. The word "artificial" can raise eyebrows. You think of cheap plastic leaves, dusty fake flowers at Grandma's. But forget all that. Today's artificial plants are stunningly realistic. And most importantly? They're perfect for any room where real plants just won't live.

💡 Why adopt them?

• No light required – You can place them wherever you want: windowless hallway, cozy toilet, blind bathroom… They remain perfect, even without sunlight.
• Maintenance = Zero – No watering, no pruning, no leaf loss, no “oops, I forgot.”
• Permanent Beauty – No wilting, no limp stems, no ugly pot to hide. They retain their shape, color, and shape throughout the seasons.
• Economical in the long run – No more having to repurchase plants every few months. A good artificial model is a lasting investment.

🏆 Bestsellers for dark rooms:

• Artificial Monstera – The tropical effect without the shade blues
• Artificial ficus – Chic, structured and perfect in a less exposed corner
• Artificial pampas grass – Ideal for a bohemian touch in a bedroom or entryway
• Small Artificial Hanging Plants – Perfect for adding life to a small, poorly lit space

Adopting an artificial plant isn't cheating. It's choosing a practical, durable, and stylish solution when nature isn't in a cooperative mood. And for dark rooms, it's simply... logical.

🌸 The light isn't always there... but the greenery is!

Every room deserves a touch of greenery, even those that haven't seen the sun. Whether you choose a real, hardy plant or opt for a more practical artificial version , the key is to create a space that makes you feel good every day.

Forget the stress of watering, falling leaves, and moving pots. Give your dark corners that little extra soul... without the stress.
