That's why we love them so much, indoor flowers? We look after, sit down, we select for them a place better and vodichku softer? Yes, because it draws us closer to nature. I want harmony and a miracle. And is not it a miracle, when a real miracle grows and blossoms in four walls, in a tiny piece of land, and this real miracle is growing green ... That's why we moved aborigines of humid tropics, hot deserts, dense forests and water meadows to our apartments. And we live side by side with them and rejoice that they are near us. True, we do not always know how to choose the right plants that would be good in our house: some of them love the sun, other shade, give some a humid climate, and some, on the contrary, try not to overmoisten. In a word, there is a lot of trouble with them. Let's find out how to choose the right flowers for your house, given its so-called microclimate. For example, if the apartment does not have enough sunlight, then it will be good to grow shade-loving indoor flowers.
Botanical features
First, let's immediately determine what isplants are shade-loving, and there are shade-tolerant plants. And between them there is a significant difference. Shade-loving houseplants in the wild grow exceptionally in darkened conditions. They do not tolerate direct sunlight, which can lead to burns of the leaves. A bright and well-known example of shade-loving indoor flowers is the ferns. Shade-tolerant plants are quite well in the bright sun, but they tolerate shading. Such plants are externally different from light-loving plants. They tend to have wider, thin and soft leaves, smooth to the touch and flat in shape. Such features are caused by the need to capture more scattered light in shaded conditions. In indoor floriculture, there is no fundamental difference between shade-loving and shadow-tolerant flowers. Both are equally suitable for growing in dark rooms, on northern and western windows. The main condition for their successful growth is a good fertile soil. Since most shade-loving plants in nature live in forests under the shade of tree crowns, and lack of light compensates for by rich forest soils. Therefore, the shade-loving plants are well adapted to a greater absorption of nutrients from the soil. And one more feature of the shade plants is their beautiful decorative leaves, for which they are valued. It is clear that flowering specimens are difficult to grow under poor lighting conditions. Therefore, consider those shade-loving flowers for the house, which are unpretentious and decorative at the same time. So, the top five. 
Deciduous Shadowplant Plants
- Kalatea. Shade-tolerant and hygrophilous. Poorly tolerates temperature changes.
- Aglaonema. It looks like a diffenbachia, but smaller than it. In winter, additional lighting is needed.
- Fittonia. He loves penumbra. Can not tolerate direct sunlight. In winter time also needs additional lighting.
Tree-like Shadeplant Plants
- Ficuses. Grow quickly, not demanding of the light. Suitable for both residential and office space. Good in the winter gardens.
- Aucuba. In nature, it lives in subtropical forests. Very shade-tolerant.
- Cordillin. Can not tolerate direct sun. For good growth, it requires intensive diffused light, and in winter in additional light.
- Teis capitate Fortune. Vertical evergreen columnar shrub. It grows slowly. To light it is undemanding.
Shade-loving creepers
- Philodendrons. Lazy creepers with arboreal branches and long air roots.
- Ivy. It does not tolerate direct sunlight, but it grows well in sufficiently bright places. Poorly react to the change in the position of the light source. In winter, additional lighting is needed.
- Scindapsus. Liana with air roots. Its leaves are painted with white and yellow divorces and "splashes". It grows rapidly, for branching, it needs to pinch the leaves.
- Cissus arctic (birch). Can not tolerate direct sun. It grows well in shading, on the east and west windows.
Flowering shade-loving plants
- Senpolia (violets). Abundant and long bloom. Do not tolerate direct sunlight. In winter need additional lighting.
- Clevia. Blooms beautiful umbellate inflorescences on tall peduncles. It needs fertile soil and good watering.
- Begonia. Prefer partial shade. Grow and blossom without any particular problems.
Ferns and palm trees
- Nephrolepis. It grows well in the penumbra. Afraid of direct sunlight.
- Maidenhair. Requires light shade and sun protection.
- Pteris Cretan. Requires shading from direct sun.
- Rapis. Slowly growing palm tree. It grows well with bright, but diffused light. Transports direct sun and shading.
- Hamedoraea. Palm plant. Requires protection from the sun.
All this is just a small list of plants,adapted to live in shaded places. In fact, indoor flowers, for which lack of light is both habitual and desirable, is much more. Grow in dark rooms you can even some shade-loving flowers for the garden. Therefore, to revive a poorly lit room or a far dark corner in it will always help house plants. You only need to choose suitable representatives of the flora, which in nature are not spoiled by the sun. We advise you to read:
