    Hey guys ive got a large vegitable garden in the backyard but what I dont know much about is indoor plants. My bedroom is stagnant and I think a couple living things would help. The window is very small so I need something that needs little to no natural light. Something very green that produces a lot of oxygen is what im in the market for, but im open to suggestions.

    " Little to no natural light" is the key here. Green plants need light.
    Option #1-Cut in and install larger window
    #2-Purchase a grow light.
    #3-purchase some silk flowers and a can of air freshener.
    But on the other hand "stagnant and dark?" Do you like mushrooms ? .....Dennis

    mushrooms & air freshener, funny.
    Some plants will do ok with low light. Mother in law's tongue or snake plants will grow in low light. I have a great big yucca that doesn't get much light and it seems to be perfectly happy. My bamboo grows in a vase in an area far from a window. African violets seem to do well in artificial light.
    If you had a grow light, you could have all sorts of plants.

    ^Is that "lucky bamboo" or actual bamboo?
    Either way, they both LOVE lots of light!

    It's the small kind. It's been in my kitchen for a very long time and it is really pretty and seems healthy. We have real bamboo in the yard. It's crazy.
