(Summary) Most flowers require plenty of sunlight; without it, their leaves turn yellow and they wither right away. This really worries those flower lovers whose homes don't get enough light. Does that mean they can't keep plants at all? Not at all, many plants and flowers actually prefer cool, shady spots. They need only a tiny bit of sunlight to live quite happily. Now let's go take a look together!

1. Peace Lily

The peace lily is a plant that really loves cool, shady places. It can bloom with just a little bit of sunlight. If it gets direct sunlight, its leaves actually tend to turn yellow. If the one at home won't bloom, it's time to look for the reason. We can use a little gibberellic acid and spray it around the plant. That way it will bloom in a few days!

2. Money Tree

The money tree likes a semi-shady environment. When the light is especially strong, it should be placed somewhere with bright, indirect light and good ventilation; normally it can get a little sun. The money tree doesn't need much water, so just water it when you see the potting soil turn pale.

3. Clivia

Clivia is also a plant that likes cool shade. But it usually needs a bit of light too. So it's generally kept in a spot with good indirect light and ventilation. There's no need to water too much either, once a week is fine. Remember to water thoroughly.

4. Lucky Bamboo

Most flower lovers probably grow lucky bamboo in water, right? The slender, straight stalks are really beautiful. It also prefers cool, shady places. Be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight, or its leaves will turn yellow. Just change the water once a week. Occasionally you can add a rusty iron nail to the water, which will keep its leaves from turning yellow. Did you learn a really useful little trick?

5. Snake Plant

The snake plant isn't so fussy about light. It can take direct sun or grow in a shady spot. Water it once a week, and when fertilizing you can bury cooked, fermented soybeans into the potting soil. This will make the snake plant grow even better!

6. Spider Plant

The spider plant is also a shade-tolerant plant. But it needs light too. If it goes without light for a long time, it will become very unhealthy. But if the light is too strong, its leaves will dry out. So put it somewhere with bright light but not too high a temperature. Remember to water once a week and keep the air around it humid.

7. Orchid

Orchids also like a cool, shady environment. But if they don't see sunlight for a long time, they become less likely to bloom. So you can put them in a bright living room. At the same time, choose a loose, breathable, nutrient-rich soil for them.

8. Rubber Plant

The rubber plant needs plenty of sunlight during its growing season. But it can also stay in a cool, well-ventilated environment. So it can be kept somewhere close to the balcony. When the temperature is high, cool it down and shade it, and remember to wipe its leaves clean.

9. Tradescantia Zebrina

Tradescantia zebrina especially loves dark, damp environments, so placing it on a north-facing balcony is no problem at all. Water it about once every 5 days, and remember to mist its leaves often to keep the air humid enough.

10. Gloxinia

The gloxinia rather likes cool, shady places. Even if the light isn't plentiful, it can still grow very well. Water it about once a week. When watering, be careful not to get water on the leaves, or they will rot!

11. Chinese Evergreen

The Chinese evergreen absolutely loves cool, shady places. Note that if it gets too strong a light at any time, it may wither, so you must be very careful. Normally it can be placed indoors or in places like the dining room. At the same time, we need to keep it humid, watering it every few days and regularly misting gently around it. Keep its environment moist for it.

12. Hydrangea

The hydrangea also likes cool, shady places. Never let it be scorched by the sun. At normal temperatures, water it once every few days. But when it's hot, water it moderately every day, 2 times being most suitable.

13. Asparagus Fern

The asparagus fern prefers a place with good ventilation even more; normally the living room is the most suitable spot for it. At the same time, it prefers a clean, moist environment. The best approach is to use a spray bottle to mist its leaves now and then, keeping the air around it clean and fresh.

14. Fuchsia

The fuchsia is a shade-loving plant, but a suitable amount of sunlight is essential. In the hot summer, the work you must do well is shading, to avoid strong light. To make it bloom more, a moderate amount of compound fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer once every half month each is most suitable.

Now that we've introduced so many shade-tolerant plants today, have the flower lovers whose homes don't get enough light picked out a plant they like?
