5 low-light houseplants that will survive the rest of winter
1. Aglaonema wishes (aka Chinese evergreen)
Aglaonema is an easy-to-grow houseplant that does well in low or artificial light conditions. The plant’s waxy, pink and green leaves add a touch of bold color to tabletops or desks. Unfortunately, this houseplant, also known as Chinese evergreen, is toxic to dogs, cats, and kids, so it’s best kept high out of reach.
The snake plant is a longtime favorite of beginner plant enthusiasts for its striking vertical leaves, hardiness, and easy care. Snake plants require very little water in winter and thrive in all light conditions. However, pet owners should keep in mind that snake plants are toxic to dogs and cats.
Spider plants are one of the most common houseplants for good reason. Hard to kill, air-purifying, and easy to propagate, this hardy plant will tolerate low-light conditions and light watering. If you want a lot of bang for your buck, affordable, quick-growing spider plants are the way to go. Plus, this houseplant is safe for dogs and cats.
Want a big-impact plant that brings a tropical touch to the dreariest winter days? Try a parlor palm. These pet-friendly plants purify the air and tolerate low light. Unlike many palm trees, the parlor palm is a low-maintenance plant suitable for beginners. It’s also non-toxic to dogs and cats.
As its name suggests, the cast iron plant is incredibly sturdy. Great for beginners, this plant can survive a missed watering and low natural light. In fact, you should skip overwatering and overly bright rooms with this resilient pick. Not only does it purify the air and look great, but the cast iron plant is pet-safe, too.
