I have a few spots left in my apartment. Pretty much all bright spots are used up by now, but there are a lot of dark-ish corners (especially on top of shelves and hanging planters) that are still empty.
What houseplants do you recommend for that places?
The only no-go is toxicity. At least, they shouldn’t be super toxic to my cats.
Right now, a few of those spots mentioned are used by Epipremnum (I believe Pothos is the English name for them), which are slightly toxic, but hung up so high, that they aren’t accessible. And even if they munch on them, not much would happen.
Ideally, as plus point, it would be nice if the plants are hanging down, not like a Calathea for example. I have enough of those 😅
Basically, I’m looking for something similar to a pothos, in terms of light requirements and the way of growth.
But don’t feel limited by that, any suggestion is great!
It depends. In summer, it’s definitely bright enough with some indirect light. But in winter, pretty darn dark.
Thanks for the tip with the light meter. I already measured the PPFD with my phone using an app and a sheet of paper in my grow tent. It actually worked extremely reliably! It matched exactly the specs of the lamp very accurately.
I’ll measure the brightness on different times of the day and weather and then report you back in a week or so if the spots are able to support life :D
