Low Light Plants
Low Light Plants - These plants will survive (but not necessarily thrive) in locations with little or no natural light and some artifiical light. Examples of these areas would be a boardroom with no windows where the lights can be left on 8 hours a day or a room with some windows -but the plants are 10 feet or more from the window.
Watering your plants: Think of these colors on a scale from 1-10 with 1 very dry and
10 wet. Your location and planter size will affect your plant’s actual water requirements.
Green – Don’t mind being wet 8-10
Blue – Allow to dry slightly 6-8
Orange- Allow to dry a fair amount 4-6
Red -Allow to dry thoroughly 0-4
