Houseplants benefit us in many ways. They brighten our homes and offices, help change our moods and even clean the air. A common question we get is "will this plant do okay if I don't have a lot of light?" Just because you don't have a bright, well-lit room in your home or office, doesn’t mean you can't grow healthy houseplants. There are many plants which will tolerate low light conditions. Here are 5 plants that are easy to grow and will do well in areas where they don't receive a lot of light.
