LOW LIGHT PLANTS
ZZ Plant
Zamioculcas zamiifolia
We love this houseplant it tolerates low light & is a stunning addition to any home, office or dorm.
Zamioculcas zamiifolia is shiny on its own. Never spray it with commercial leaf shine because it clogs the plants pores.

Sansevieria trifasciata
This popular houseplant forms dense stands of vertical leaves, arranged in rosettes; produces silvery-green leaves, mottled and striped with dark green.
This houseplant performs well in both bright or low sunlight and strong artificial light.
Pothos
Epipremnum aureum
Arguably the easiest plant to grow. Trailing vine with pointed, heart-shaped green leaves, sometimes variegated with white, yellow, or pale green depending on the variety.
This houseplant will thrive in a home office, apartment or dorm room with artificial or low light.
Bamboo Palm
Chamaedorea seifrizii
Loved for its air cleaning properties and tropical foliage. Also known as Chamaedorea, this low light houseplant makes an excellent addition to any living room or office. Bamboo palms are one of the easiest indoor palm trees to grow.
