Just because your workspace lacks windows or access to natural light, doesn’t mean that your office area has to be devoid of life. Low light, easy maintenance houseplants are the perfect addition to add interest and brighten up your place. We’ve carefully selected five of our favorite indoor plants perfect for office spaces with no windows.
1. Snake Plant
One of the hardiest houseplants available, snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata) are both a great beginner plant and an ideal choice for low light environments. The distinctive tall, dark green leaves add height and dramatic flair to any interior space. Though they prefer some indirect light, these plants can stand up to neglect. If you forget to water this plant, no worries. Let the soil dry between waterings, as too much can cause root rot.
2. ZZ Plant
The shiny, rounded leaves and long stems of the zz plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) make it look like you spend a lot of time maintaining your plant’s health. However, the zz plant is perfect for even the most neglectful plant owner. This plant is not a fan of lots of light. In fact, its leaves will yellow and curl if it gets too much. This plant offers rewarding green leaves with low light conditions and very little effort.
3. Pothos
With cascading vines and rounded heart-shaped leaves, pothos (Epipremnum aureum) add jungle-esque vibes to windowless spaces. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent over-watering. Built to thrive in both light and dark environments, pothos are a great plant option for spaces with very little natural light. Check out our pothos care guide for more detailed information on how to properly care for these plants.
4. Cast Iron Plant
A friend of the shadows, the cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior) loves darker spaces. With long, dark green, glossy leaves, this plant adds a pleasant ambiance to any area. Incredibly undemanding, this plant only needs occasional care. Let the soil dry out between waterings, and keep them away from direct sunlight to thrive.
5. Dracaena
One of the more popular houseplants, dracaena (Dracaena) are versatile, low maintenance plants that are content in a variety of conditions. Long, thin tapered leaves, sometimes with variegation, in lovely hues of green make dracaena plants a pleasant addition to any space. There are a number of dracaena species available. However, most varieties will thrive in low light conditions. Paired with limited watering needs, these hardy plants are perfect for spots with little natural light.
