These 6 potted plants don't need light and can thrive even in a home without sunlight

If you want to grow a garden even without sunlight, then you must choose some shade-tolerant flowers, ideally ones that can bloom when grown indoors. Besides common foliage plants like pothos, money tree and snake plant, there are actually some shade-tolerant flowering plants, and even some foliage plants with variegated leaves, that you can choose from. Let's take a look.

1 Astilbe

The common pink flowers are simply enchanting to look at, with blooms shaped like a torch that look truly stunning. The flowers grow in clusters, and paired with lush foliage, they look especially charming in a shaded corner of the yard.

Keep the indoor temperature at 10°C to 12°C, or cultivate outdoors; when cultivating outdoors in winter, mulch cover is needed. In mid-December, the plants can be placed in a 10°C to 12°C environment for 5 to 7 weeks.

3 Selaginella uncinata

We can grow Selaginella uncinata in a cool, moist corner. They like humus-rich soil and the edges of moist weeds, and prefer a warm, humid environment.

4 Saxifraga stolonifera

Saxifraga stolonifera likes a cool, moist environment. When caring for it, be careful to maintain good soil drainage while also retaining some water. It likes to grow in shaded and moist spots under trees.

When growing in pots, be careful to maintain relatively high ambient humidity. When planting, it easily grows side shoots, and propagation is very simple. You can directly bury the side shoots in the soil; after they take root, cut off the branch and transplant directly and they will survive.

5 African violet

6 Calathea

It is a plant with variegated leaves. Cultivation requires a shaded and well-ventilated environment, and you need to keep the environment warm and humid, avoiding air that is too dry. When caring for it, you can often spray water around it and maintain good soil drainage.
