You ever look at that shady corner in
0:01
your apartment and think, "Man,
0:03
nothing's going to grow there." Yeah,
0:05
I've been there, too. But what if I told
0:08
you there are plants that actually love
0:10
the dark side of the room? Low light? No
0:13
problem. These hanging beauties are
0:15
built for it, and they're not just
0:16
surviving, they're thriving. 10 best
0:19
hanging plants that don't mind low light
0:21
in clean typography with plant vines
0:24
wrapping around the corners of the
0:25
screen. So, let's get into it of the
0:27
best hanging plants that don't need a
0:29
spotlight to steal the show.
0:32
First up is the Hoya. And let me tell
0:34
you, this plant is way tougher than it
0:36
looks. You hang it up in a spot that
0:38
barely gets any sun, and it's like,
0:40
cool, I didn't want that anyway. Hoya
0:43
are chill like that. They're waxy,
0:45
trailing leaves just do their thing. And
0:48
if you're lucky, you'll get these wild
0:50
little star-shaped flowers that look
0:52
almost fake. They don't ask for much,
0:55
just a little patience and maybe a drink
0:58
every now and then. I've seen Hoya
1:00
thrive in hallways, bathrooms, you name
1:03
it. They're not dramatic. They're just
1:05
quietly awesome. And honestly, every
1:07
lowlight home needs one hanging around.
1:11
Ah, the paosis one's basically the MVP
1:14
of lowlight hanging plants. You could
1:17
forget to water it, shove it in a dark
1:19
corner, and it'll still be throwing out
1:21
vines like it's got something to prove.
1:23
It's the plant that forgives everything.
1:25
Whether you go for the classic golden
1:27
variety or something a little fancier
1:29
like marble queen, it'll spill out of a
1:31
hanging basket like a green waterfall.
1:34
And the best part, it grows fast, so you
1:37
get that lush jungle vibe without
1:39
putting in much effort. It's perfect for
1:41
beginners, apartment dwellers, or anyone
1:43
who's accidentally killed a plant or
1:45
five.
1:47
The Heartley filidendrin is like that
1:48
laid-back friend who never complains and
1:51
always looks good doing nothing. You
1:53
hang it up in a shady spot, forget about
1:55
it for a week or two, and it's still
1:57
just chilling leaves, glossy vines
2:00
growing like it's on vacation. The
2:02
heart-shaped leaves give it this soft,
2:04
romantic vibe. But make no mistake, this
2:07
plant is a survivor. It doesn't freak
2:09
out in low light. It just adapts and
2:12
keeps growing. Whether it's climbing,
2:14
trailing, or just lounging in a basket,
2:17
the Heartleaf filidendrin brings that
2:19
easygoing greenery to any corner that
2:21
needs a little love without a lot of
2:23
maintenance.
2:25
The spider plant is like the
2:26
overachiever of lowlight hanging plants.
2:28
It shows up, settles in, and starts
2:30
popping out baby plants like it's trying
2:32
to impress someone. And honestly, it
2:34
kind of does. Those long arching leaves
2:37
with the stripes give it this wild,
2:39
energetic look, even when it's tucked
2:41
into a dim room. It doesn't need direct
2:44
sunlight, just a little ambient light to
2:46
keep doing its thing. Plus, it's one of
2:49
the best air purifying plants out there.
2:51
So, it's not just a pretty facets
2:52
working behind the scenes, too. Hang it
2:55
up, let those little plantlets dangle
2:57
down, and suddenly even your darkest
2:59
room feels alive.
3:02
Now, Rex Beagonia, that's your moody,
3:04
artsy friend who somehow still steals
3:06
the show in every room. It doesn't trail
3:09
like some of the others, but hang it up
3:11
in the right pot and those bold
3:13
patterned leaves make it look like
3:14
living artwork. We're talking deep reds,
3:17
purples, silvers like someone painted
3:20
them by hand. And the best part, it
3:23
doesn't need bright light to keep that
3:24
color. This plant actually prefers
3:27
shade, so it's totally cool hanging out
3:30
in a low light space where other plants
3:32
might sulk. A little humidity, not too
3:35
much water. And Rex will keep flexing
3:38
those wild leaves like it owns the
3:39
place.
3:41
The prayer plant is kind of like the
3:43
plant that has its own little routine.
3:45
It literally moves its leaves up at
3:46
night like it's saying good night, which
3:48
is just wild. You hang it up in a shady
3:51
corner and instead of complaining about
3:53
the lack of sunlight, it leans into the
3:55
vibe. Those bold veins and patterns on
3:58
the leaves make it look like something
4:00
out of a tropical sketchbook. and it
4:02
thrives in low filtered light where most
4:04
showy plants would fade. It does like a
4:07
little humidity, so maybe keep it near a
4:10
bathroom or mist it once in a while, but
4:12
overall it's super forgiving. Watching
4:14
it open and close each day feels like
4:16
this quiet reminder that even in the
4:18
darker spots, there's still movement,
4:21
still life happening.
4:23
The fiddle leaf filidendrona to be
4:25
confused with its giant cousin, the
4:27
fiddly figus, like the underrated indie
4:29
version that actually thrives in low
4:31
light and doesn't throw a tantrum every
4:32
time the lighting changes. It's got
4:35
these big, bold leaves that look kind of
4:37
dramatic, but in a cool, effortless way.
4:39
You hang it up and it just drapes itself
4:41
with these thick vines and oversized
4:43
foliage like it was made to live
4:44
indoors. It doesn't need direct sunlight
4:47
and it doesn't mind being a little
4:49
neglected either. Just water it when the
4:51
soil dries out and it keeps on doing its
4:53
thing. It's a solid choice if you want
4:55
that tropical look without the
4:57
highmaintenance drama.
4:59
The Boston Fern is like that wild-haired
5:02
friend who looks a little unckempt, but
5:03
somehow totally pulls it off. You hang
5:06
one up and suddenly the space feels
5:08
softer, more relaxed, like you just
5:10
stepped into a cozy greenhouse. What's
5:13
great is it doesn't demand a ton of
5:15
light indirect. Low light works just
5:17
fine. It's more into humidity than
5:19
sunshine. So, a steamy bathroom or a
5:22
kitchen corner with a bit of moisture in
5:24
the air is its happy place. The fronds
5:26
just cascade down in every direction
5:28
like green fireworks. And as long as you
5:30
keep the soil slightly moist, it rewards
5:33
you with that lush layered look that
5:35
makes the whole room feel alive.
5:38
Addinson's Mona or Monstera Addinsoni if
5:42
you're feeling fancy, is like the
5:44
rebellious cousin in the Monstera
5:46
family. It's got those dramatic holes in
5:47
the leaves like it's been through
5:49
something, but still looks incredible.
5:52
It's a climber by nature, but let those
5:54
vines spill out of a hanging basket and
5:56
it becomes this beautiful controlled
5:58
chaos. The best part, it doesn't need
6:01
tons of light to look good. Low to
6:04
medium light is totally its comfort
6:05
zone, and it'll still put out new leaves
6:08
with those signature Swiss cheese vibes.
6:10
It adds a ton of texture and movement to
6:13
a space and it makes even a boring
6:15
corner feel like it's part of a tropical
6:17
jungle minus the maintenance headache.
6:20
Hypoesties, also known as the polka dot
6:23
plant, is like the loud one in the group
6:25
who always shows up dressed to stand
6:27
out. And honestly, we love that energy.
6:29
It's got these speckled leaves in shades
6:32
of pink, red, and white that look like
6:34
someone splattered paint on them just
6:36
for fun. Even in low light, it keeps
6:39
those colors popping, which is kind of
6:41
rare in the plant world. Hang it up
6:43
where it can spread a little and it
6:45
turns into this playful artsy accent
6:47
that breaks up all the green in the best
6:49
way. It's not fussy. Just give it a
6:52
drink when the top soil dries out and
6:54
maybe pinch it back now and then to keep
6:56
it full. It's perfect if you want
6:58
something that feels bold but doesn't
7:00
need a spotlight to perform.
7:03
And there you have it hanging plants
7:04
that actually thrive in the low light
7:06
corners of your home. No grow lights, no
7:09
plant drama, just good vibes and green
7:12
energy. So find that dim spot you've
7:14
been ignoring and let one of these
7:16
beauties bring it to life.
