For example, at once - most of the plants described inthis article, belong to the category of decorative-deciduous, that is all their charm is not in flowers, but in beautiful leaves. But this is also a lot, considering the "sunless" diet, on which they usually stay in our apartments.

These plants feel quite well in a dark room, the windows of which are not facing the sunny side. Pots can be safely located far from the window, in the back of the room.
Plants growing in the shade
1. Aglaonema
The beauty of the Aglaonema is in its oblongvariegated leaves. The flower grows very slowly, so it can be transplanted every three years. Aglaonema loves top dressing, warmth and moist air (often sprayed). This does not endure drafts and smoke. Plant the plant in a low pot and protect from direct sunlight. However, in the full shade, yellow or white-green leaves will lose their ornamentality: they turn from colorful to ordinary green leaves. 
2. The Aspidistra
One of the hardiest houseplants is notin vain the English call it "cast-iron." Aspidistra, neither polluted air, nor rare watering, nor dry air are terrible. However, direct sunlight can burn its leaves, so keep the pot with aspidistra away from the window. To transplant a flower is necessary only in case of emergency - once in the five-year plan.
3. Asplenium
The second name of this plant is Kostenetsnest, the English call it more poetic: Bird's Nest Fern - which means "fern - bird's nest". This plant of the fern family is quite large: its xiphoid leaves reach 60 cm in length. Asplenium as a true fern loves shadow and moist air. Regularly spraying is mandatory. Do not put the pot with the plant next to the central heating battery - dry, warm air for it is disastrous. Another limitation is that you should not touch the young leaves of the asplenium - they do not like it. 
4. Gelksin
Moss-like Gelksin with tiny tenderleaves look beautiful in hanging pots, as well as in pots next to large, tall plants. Gelksina covers the soil with a graceful green carpet. But be careful: do not plant it to low plants - gelksina can "strangle" them. Frequent watering and spraying is required of you. Gelksin is very simple: pinch off a small lump of earth with several stalks and dig in a new pot.
5. Sansevieria

Choose what is closer to you - high leaves up to 1 m or low dense outlets. And those and other species are equally not whimsical. The only thing that does not tolerate sansevieriya is the waterlogging of the soil. In winter, you can forget about watering.
6. Scindapsus (Potos)
In Britain this liana with variegated waxleaves are called "Devil's ivy". Yellow or white stains, streaks and splashes adorn the bright green leaves of the stockadrasus. However, be prepared for the fact that in the full shadow they can fade slightly. This popular plant looks great in a hanging pot, and fired on the wall. Can not stand drafts, dry air and direct sun. Spray the stockadapus often. To the plant branched, the ends of the stems are plucked. 
7. Philodendron climbing

It grows well in the shade. This is a liana, so in the pot necessarily stick a furry column, which will become a support for the plant. And do not forget about regular spraying. By the way, this is the brother of a gigantic beauty monster (after all, its second name is Philodendron perforated).
