Many friends living in old urban areas know that a lot of living environments are relatively dark, and the reason is that building conditions were limited in the past, all being 7-story to 9-story walk-up buildings, and the spacing between buildings is also very small, with many being what are commonly known as "handshake buildings." So under such limited light conditions, what plants are suitable to grow? Schefflera

So under such limited light conditions, what plants are suitable to grow?

Schefflera

Schefflera, also called dwarf umbrella tree, has a relatively compact plant shape and is mainly grown for its foliage, with a plant height of 1 to 1.5 m, suitable for placing on TV cabinets, in bathrooms and other spots. It likes a warm and humid environment, and the more shaded the location, the more vigorous its leaves look. At the same time, in the plant world it has the title of secondhand smoke "nemesis," as its leaves are covered with what acts like swim caps that can absorb nicotine particles. In addition, although it likes shade, occasionally moving it to a spot with light once a month can make the green leaf color more stable.

Evergreen

Evergreen is also called four-season evergreen, and its meaning is very good, symbolizing longevity, wealth, peace and health, so keeping it at home can both prosper the home and please the eye. Moreover, its leaf patterns are attractive and have a painterly quality, and placed indoors it can also become a natural decorative painting. In terms of care, it is a herbaceous plant, and the maintenance environment requires keeping it warm and humid and in semi-shade (a shaded spot can make its leaves more glossy green); it fears waterlogging, so it must not be watered too much.

Pothos

Pothos can be called the plant that beginners can buy with their eyes closed, because no matter where it is placed, even in a relatively dark living environment, it can still be grown glossy green and make people feel comforted when looking at it. At the same time, it can be grown in soil or water, which can also suit everyone's preferences. A care tip: when caring for it, you can drip a few drops of beer into the water, or wipe the leaves with beer, which can make the leaves thicker and more beautiful.

Anthurium

Many people think at first glance that it is a delicate flower, but that is not the case; it is the toughest performer among shade-loving flowers.

Its biggest feature is that it can produce flower buds even without light, and even in a damp corner it can still bloom with tender pink flowers, and the flowering period is very long. In terms of care, note that it cannot be exposed to wind blowing directly at the opening for a long time, as doing so easily causes yellow leaves.
