What are some indoor plants that can thrive in shade
Let's talk about some indoor plants that can thrive in shade and take a look at eight easy-to-care-for shade-tolerant plants, here are the details:
Having some flowering plants at home can make it cozier and more vibrant, while their beautiful blooms can both delight the eye and purify the air. However, many plants are lush and vigorous when first bought, but quickly turn yellow and fail to bloom after a short period of care.
This is not only related to improper care but also factors like sunlight and ventilation. Since indoor sunlight and ventilation are not always ideal, if your home has poor lighting and no well-lit balcony, you might as well grow some shade-tolerant flowering plants. Even with poor lighting, they can bloom throughout the year, looking beautiful and elegant, making them very suitable for home planting. If you like them, why not plant a few.
One, Clematis "Green Jade," which is relatively shade-tolerant
Clematis is a very famous flowering plant with beautiful and abundant flowers, and its blooms are brilliant and dazzling, hence the name "Queen of Vines." However, its growth habits are somewhat similar to roses, requiring outdoor planting in a well-lit area to thrive and produce a large number of flowers. But among clematis, "Green Jade" is more shade-tolerant. If there is scattered light and good air circulation indoors, it can still be planted. Having one in the living room with layered blooms and flourishing branches is very stunning.
Two, Zonal Cattleya, which is relatively shade-tolerant
It is one of the outstanding plants in the Cattleya genus, very good at climbing, with branches that can reach two to three meters. We can also use a hanging method to display it. Its leaves are ovate and their color can change with the external environment. When the light is weak, they are a lush green. When exposed to direct sunlight, they turn reddish-brown.
Both its flowers and leaves are beautiful and increasingly popular. With sufficient scattered light and good air circulation, it can grow healthily, and it has a long blooming period, usually with flowers in full bloom most of the time.
Three, Red Anthurium, which is relatively shade-tolerant
It also has another name, Flower Candelabra. Its leaves are ovate, bright and green, with a fleshy texture. Its flowers are usually red and pink, and it can bloom all year round, with a single flower lasting on the plant for one to two months. If well cared for, its flowers will bloom continuously, allowing you to enjoy flowers every day.
Because its flowers are bright red, they symbolize prosperity and have an especially auspicious meaning. Red Anthurium enjoys shade and does not require much sunlight, being able to bloom even under artificial lighting. So if your home is dim, this is a good choice for year-round blooming.
Four, "Pluto Balcony" Rose, which is relatively shade-tolerant
