Potted coconut palm: shade-loving or sun-loving?
A bit of knowledge to share with you about whether the potted coconut palm prefers shade or sun, as well as an overview of six shade-tolerant indoor plants, which will surely be of help to you. Let's take a look together!
Not every plant enthusiast has ample sunlight at home, so today I am recommending some shade-tolerant plants. Which one do you like the most?
1. Aspidistra elatior
Aspidistra elatior is a common indoor foliage plant that can maintain a lush green state all year round. Some older stems can even produce purple flowers at the rhizome, which resemble spider eggs when they first appear. Aspidistra elatior is especially shade-tolerant and can grow well even with only a little light. It also has good cold and drought resistance, requiring only occasional watering and prefers well-draining and loose soil.
2. Zamioculcas zamiifolia
Zamioculcas zamiifolia is a very suitable indoor foliage plant, with its evergreen feathery leaves. Proper care can result in cute white-green spathes. Zamioculcas zamiifolia has good shade tolerance and can grow in semi-shaded or dark areas. It is drought-resistant and only requires slightly moist and dry potting soil, preferring loose, fertile, and well-draining sandy soil.
3. Mini coconut palm
The mini coconut palm is a common indoor potted plant, with a small stature but similar to the common coconut tree, allowing you to enjoy the tropical scenery without going outside. The mini coconut palm does not require much light and can grow in shaded areas. During the growing period, keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging, regularly spray water to maintain humidity, and it prefers loose, fertile soil with good drainage.
4.(Convallaria majalis)
Whether the mini coconut palm prefers shade or sun
Convallaria majalis is one of my favorite ornamental plants, usually blooming in spring with pure white bell-like flowers and a captivating fragrance. Convallaria majalis requires little light and grows well in cool and shaded places. It prefers loose, fertile, well-draining, and humus-rich soil. Maintenance requires ventilation and slightly moist soil.
5. Dendrobium
Dendrobium is one of the most popular varieties in the orchid family. Its leaves resemble bamboo leaves, growing on both sides of the stem nodes, and the flowers emerge from the axils of the leaves, usually one flower per stem, mostly in purple with a subtle fragrance. Dendrobium requires little light, just a bit of scattered light each day, and the key is to maintain a warm and humid environment with high air humidity and regular watering.
6. Air plant
Air plants are very popular potted plants with evergreen leaves, degenerated roots, and can survive by hanging on various objects, even blossoming into beautiful bright flowers, mostly pink or purple, which are stunning to behold. For air plant care, it is best to place them in a location with a bit of scattered light, maintain good ventilation, keep high air humidity, and regularly spray water on the leaves.
