    Hi all,
    I am getting ready to move into a little rondette house up in the forest and am really wanting to get into gardening and working with plants more.. What are some good house plants I can grow without alot of sunlight indoors throughout the winter?
    Any super creative fun indoor gardening ideas,tips, and how to get started would be awesome!
    Much Love and Light

    Some plants that come to mind for low light situations would be: two palms that are rather shade-tolerant, Parlour Palm and Lady Palm, Aloe Vera, Jade Plant, Christmas Cactus, Butterfly Nepthytis, Cast Iron plant, Chinese evergreen, Sanseveria - both the tall snake plant aka mother in law's tongue and the bird's nest type, Peace Lily (one of my favorites), Plume flower, Swiss Cheese Plant and English(very hardy), Grape, Pothos, or Tree Ivy.

    You can use this site to check out any other recommendations.

    Here's a site that gives all kinds of info on growing houseplants.

    If you're new to working with plants, try philodendron. They tend to thrive on neglect and can withstand low light. In fact, they do better away from direct light. Low temperatures will be no problem for them.

    Hope this helped.

    Peace,
