10 Tips for Houseplants for Low-Light Apartments

We have all lived in a cozy apartment with windows that face...well, another brick wall. It can be disheartening to scroll through Instagram and see sun-drenched urban jungals. You may be tempted to give up gardening since you don't have a greenhouse, but there is no need to give up yet! With a bit of effort, you can be a successful plant parent too!

Here are 10 tips that will help your plant friends Survive and thrive in your low-light apartment.

1. Pick the Right Crew

The first thing you need to do is leave the succulents at the nursery. Plants that do well in low-light conditions include: snake plants, ZZ plants, cast-iron plants, and pothos.

2. Put Them on a Water Diet

Since your plants will "drink" their water slower in low-light conditions, you will need to water them less. To check if the soil is dry, stick your finger two inches into the soil and see if it is dry. If it is still moist, then you don't need to water that plant. Overwatering is a common mistake that people make with low-light plants.

3. Dust Those Leaves

Since there is less light, your plants will need to absorb every bit of light that they can. Dust will block light and prevent photosynthesis. To remove dust, you will need to wipe the leaves with a damp cloth.

4. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

A low-cost way to increase the available light in a room is to hang a mirror opposite your window. The light will bounce off the mirror and increase the available light in the room.

5. Keep ‘Em Clean and Yellow-Free

Remove yellow and brown leaves. Your plant spends energy trying to save dying leaves, and you want it to save that energy to help the healthy parts of the plant.

6. Rotate for Even Tans

Plants tend to grow long and lanky in the direction of the light source. This creates an unsightly effect called etiolation. To avoid this, simply quarter turn your pots every week.

7. Think White and Bright

When painting or buying pots, choose light colors. Light colored walls and pots reflect light and help to brighten dark corners.

8. Fake It with Grow Lights

If you don’t have any natural light, you don’t have to worry about your plants dying. You can buy desk lamps with embedded LED grow bulbs to fool your plants.

9. Ditch the Heavy Fertilizer

Plants that don’t get a lot of light grow really really slowly. Fast plant growth means they need more food, so during the growing season in the spring and summer you can fertilize them, but not during the lazy winter months.

10. Group Your Greenies

Plant grouping is not only cute, but creates a microclimate with more humidity. When plants evaporate water, it helps prevent the brown, crispy edges.

As you can see, having a sunroom is not a must to have lots of plants. Happy planting!
