Shade plants are the perfect houseplants for dark places in the house and for people who have little natural light in their home! Plants that can be in the shade differ greatly in maintenance needs. There are shade plants that need very little care, but there are also shade plants that require a lot of maintenance. Most plants do not like the shade. These are often plants that grow towards the sunlight. 

Shade plants originate at the bottom of jungles and therefore catch less sunlight than other plants. These shade plants are real groundcovers in the tropical rainforest. Some of these shade plants often need sufficient water because they are on the bottom in the jungle. The humidity is very high in tropical rainforests. Yet there are also shade plants that can appreciate dry soil. Read on and learn more about shade plants for inside your home!
