The most shade-loving plants
Home plants that do not require light belong to two families. Plants of the maran family prefer diffuse light or partial shade. The best place for them is where the sun's rays break through only in the morning or at the end of the day. If you notice burns on the leaves or the foliage color is noticeably faded, then there is too much light in the proposed place for the flower.
Dim light is suitable for houseplants of the family arodnyh. Plants of this family need sunlight only in winter. But in the warm season it is necessary to cover flowers from direct rays, especially in the midday period.
