Nature where you least expect it
Plants at home in the shade
Not every home is bathed in light.
A hallway, a dimly lit bathroom, a north-facing flat: these spaces seem doomed to stay bare. Yet some plants settle in there effortlessly.
Native to tropical undergrowth, the ZZ plant, Snake Plant, Pothos and Cast Iron Plant have learned to live on very little light. They turn the darkest corners into green, living presences, where you no longer expected anything to grow.
No sun, no fuss
Beautiful, even in the shade
Dark-room plants ask even less than the others.
Used to shade, they tolerate infrequent watering and make do with indirect light or a distant window. No need to move them with the seasons or chase every ray.
From a dim office to a poorly lit hallway, our selections bring a breath of green everywhere, with no constraint.
Greenery finally finds its way into the rooms you thought were lost to plants.
Always supported
Effortless plant care
Even in a dark room, keeping your plants healthy stays simple with Léon & George.
Enjoy personalised advice for gardening and looking after your plants. Our Plant Doctor service, included with every plant, gives you the support of our experts: choosing the least dark spot, adjusting watering to low light, soil, drainage and repotting.
Every plant is guaranteed for 30 days after delivery, so you can green even the dimmest corners of your home with no stress.
Featured Questions
What are the different types of plants that accept low light?
For those looking to transform their interiors into a verdant setting without the light of perpetual summer sunshine, good news! Forget palms like Kentia, Ficus, or philodendrons like Monstera. Discover our selective list of plants as robust as they are elegant, perfectly adapted to conditions of modest luminosity.
Here are a few must-haves:
Dragontree (Dracaena): With its boldly colored green and red leaves, this indoor tree is not just an eye-catcher. This plant acts as a filter for notorious chemical pollutants.
Sansevieria Trifasciata: From Laurentii to Moonshine to Golden Hahnii, every member of the Sansevieria family is at home in both bright and dimly lit spaces. What's more, this plant will purify the air in your apartment. Be careful, however, to control watering.
Scindapsus Aureus (Pothos Cascade): Ideal for those with low-light work spaces. Pothos thrives even under artificial lighting. Place it on your desk, hang it high or let your imagination run free to highlight the heart-shaped foliage of this drooping plant.
Zamioculcas (Joyau de Zanzibar): Although it prefers shady, open spaces. The ZZ plant needs only a trickle of light to flourish and display its robustness.
Aspidistra Elatior: Looking to inject a touch of retro into your interior? Look no further. This dark-green, lanceolate plant is equally at home in a light-filled living room or a less exposed office.
These houseplants are living proof that it's entirely possible to keep a space green, lush and purified, even when sunlight is lacking.
Do houseplants for dark locations require special care?
Forget the myth that indoor plants for shady corners are the divas of gardening. On the contrary, they're incredibly resilient and simple to pamper. Here's how:
Watering: keep the balance! Proper, moderate watering is the key to avoiding root rot. Less light usually means less water.
Spraying: A little mist can work wonders. Regularly spraying foliage with distilled or filtered water recreates the humidity these verdant beauties crave. This little wellness gesture also helps keep pests at bay, while providing your plants with top-notch hydration.
Pruning: Give them a little trim from time to time. Remove withered or damaged leaves to encourage vigorous growth and limit the risk of disease. Think of it as a quick makeover.
Leaf cleaning: how about a little home spa? Dusting leaves with a damp cloth not only makes them shine, but also maximizes their ability to absorb light and thus to photosynthesize more effectively.
Fertilization: Feed them, but do it right! An organic nutrient supply during the growing season contributes to their well-being.
Light: The right light makes all the difference. Although plants generally prefer a bright location with no direct sunlight or half-shade, these houseplants can adapt to a darker space with the right care. A small amount of light is still required. Don't forget that these are real plants.
Pest control: Play plant detective. A regular look under the leaves and around the pot can prevent an unwanted invasion. At the slightest sign of trouble, take swift action with ecological maintenance solutions.
