What kind of house plant will grow in a cool place w/o much outside light?

I can't work in the yard now that I'm disabled. I love green and flowering plants and I find it difficult to find any to grow in my home because I keep it at least 60 degrees and there's very little light that shines through the windows and very little space in front of the windows.

For blooming plants cyclamen, streptocarpus, and pocketbook plants love cooler temperatures.They will grow for quite a while in the lower light, but will thrive in more light.

Have you considered getting a fluorescent light fixture and setting up a small area for plants. Since you are unable to work in the yard and you still love the plants you could have a garden inside without too much trouble. I'd hate to have to go without flowers nearby for very long.

Foliage plants that survive low light draceana, spathiphyllum, aspidistra, aglaomena, pothos, philodendron.
Reply:I have a dracendia plant it is a slow tall growing plant, another one is a devils ivy, it grow any where, with little help other than water. but it will travel, I had one one time that went from wall to wall hanging from the curtains!!

If you want a cute tree their are a Christmas tree looking plant that takes shade, and coolness is ok, I would go to your local green house and check them out
Reply:Closet plants are good.



If you have enough room near the window you could try African violets. They are easy to get and there is tons of information about them. 60 degrees is a little cold for them to bloom but that is half the fun.



If you enjoy plants African violets can be a challenge but rewording plant.
Reply:CLOSET PLANT, NEEDS VERY LITTLE LIGHT AND CAN TAKE THE COOLER TEMP.
