Many friends like to grow some plants and flowers to cultivate their mood, to shift their attention after work or when tired. Unfortunately, reality is always cruel: in high-rise buildings where every inch of space is precious, there is not much room to create a large garden, and some rooms do not even get sunlight, so when choosing plants, shade-loving green plants become the first choice. They are easy to care for and easy to keep alive, and decorating a space with them creates a good atmosphere. So take a look at these five common yet elegant shade-loving plants!

Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a shade-loving plant, averse to direct sunlight, and prefers shade. When grown indoors it can be placed beside a window, but direct sunlight must be avoided. Too strong sunlight will scorch the leaves of golden pothos. It is extremely easy to keep alive, and can also be grown in a hydroponic bottle and hung in any corner of a room. Too much shade will make the pretty variegation on the leaves disappear. Generally, receiving 4 hours of scattered light is best.

Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded and well-ventilated environment. In winter it cannot tolerate severe cold, nor drought, and it must not be watered too much or the roots will rot. In summer it must not be exposed to direct sunlight. It is best grown in loose, fertile soil with good drainage!

It originally grows wild on wet rocks in stream valleys and mountain gullies. It likes a warm, humid and semi-shaded environment, is averse to direct sunlight, and prefers loose, fertile sandy loam containing lime.

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) likes warmth and moisture. It is best grown in a spot with partial sun or shade, and is averse to direct sunlight. It can be grown in water or in soil, tolerates shade and moisture, and is highly adaptable. Pennywort is robust by nature, easy to plant, has a well-developed root system and multiplies quickly, and is suitable both in water and on land.
