TOP 10 Low Light Houseplants + Understanding Low Light In Your Home 🌿

I've made videos about low light houseplants before, but there's a few areas that I feel often get ignored when it comes to actually growing HEALTHY plants in low light. In this video I take you through 10 of my favourite plants that are not just surviving, but THRIVING in low light in my home. I turn off the lights and take you round to them in order to show you exactly what low light means and how I've applied it to growing in all areas of my home. I really hope you enjoy it!

A friend of mine has a golden Pothos in her windowless bathroom, the door is always closed so that it‘s pitch black in there. She doesn‘t even dust the leaves, last time she watered the plant was over a month ago and it‘s growing like crazy. No idea how, but this plant is unkillable 😂

My lounge so low on light that my plants are starting a support group - they meet to share tips on how to photosynthesise from streetlights...
You saved me! I just need to get the right type of plants, thank you.

I know it's not that important, however there are actually plants, that can survive without any light. They are called mycoheterotrophic plants and don't have any chlorophyll because they live in a symbiotic relationship with mushrooms :)

Queen, I just wanna say, looking at the blurred background of your living room, you are living my dream 😂❤ this is what I want my next living room to look like, full of plants 😍 I love it! 👏

I was so excited that you mentioned the ficus Alii because I have never heard anyone else mention it. I've had one for many years and it grew so large that I put it in my back yard patio in a pot; I've propagated it and stuck the cuttings in water and had so many root. Unfortunately when we had that big freeze in Feb. 2021 here in Houston, TX the large mother ficus succumed to the freeze because she was so large in the pot, I couldn't bring it inside. I tried covering it but it was such an unusual bitter weather, it couldn't handle it. Thankfully I had many cuttings from her and the young-ins are doing great and thriving.

Oh Claire, this is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for taking the lead in realistically demonstrating the lighting conditions (within your environment) and touching on key points. It's helpful that we take a step back and evaluate our environment to determine if a plant we desire will thrive and survive in our space❤🪴👏👍🫂

I truly love The Jungle Haven channel !!! I am learning more with each video 😃 I love the way you have the snake plants displayed. 🌱🌿☺️

Lucky bamboo can handle low light like a champ. I've been neglecting mine FAR from my grow light for over 2+ years & it continues to grow tall & wild. I've had many days where it had absolutely no light & still shows new growth😅 I have it in leca so there's ZERO pests & it's such an easy yet fulfilling plant to keep. Just be careful when adding fertilizer since they're pretty prolific growers😂

[rickharper]

Yes part two please! 😊 and also medium plants too 😁

[rosewagner]

I love seeing your beautiful plants! Part 2? 3? 4? Keep your videos coming!

[HoneySparkles]

This is great to share with a friend with a less bright house, thank you.

Hello Claire! I just stumbled across your channel, and I am delighted I did. I, too, am a houseplant enthusiast, have been growing numerous varieties for over thirty years now, and it is a real pleasure to virtually 'meet' another like-minded soul. Loving the channel, subscribed immediately, and I look forward to learning from your obvious expertise. Lorraine

Please post more like this ! I totally enjoyed this video! I have read and watched so many videos about low light, but I find it confusing and contradictory. Thank you Claire keep up the videos, I love watching your posts.

[Kermit.Exorcist]

I just wanted to write that your home is so beautiful 💚

[LordMOwings]

I love your videos... They're very well done... But I now have a list of plants on my "Must buy" list thanks to you and your videos. Lol.

I'm a huge fan of Aglaonemas and also Pothos. Golden Pothos along with my curly Spider plants) grow in very low light and I use them in darker areas of my home with no problems. I'd say the Pothos have been the most adaptable to low light in my experience - they just love to grow!

[thewistfulsnail]

Such an incredibly helpful and in-depth video. I really appreciate you being transparent about lighting with the whole video in natural light to better demonstrate the lighting in the room. Thank you so much!

[chrislynch]

🇦🇺 Well! Someone had fun videoing and editing this segment 😂. I can't tell you how much I like seeing your 'mess' it brings a sense of natural genuineness. As does your playfulness - reminds me so much of Sandra Bullock and Genna Davis - I find their acting to be very realistic.

The way you demonstrated low light made so much sense to me, I now finally realise that my plants are better off than I think they are! 😁
I never thought I'd like a Ficus but I love the Alli and the umbellata 💕 and I've found the Alli easy to look after. After seeing your aglaonema in a previous segment I knew they'd be perfect in a ceiling hanging planter and they are! Thank you.

Brilliant segment Claire, thank you so much.
