What is a good indoor plant thats needs little or no sun?


Question:

Answers:
Try a Pelargonium (most people call them geranium).
Or a Begonia. These plants grow naturally in the rainforest and have purple-tinted leaves to catch the most of the available light.

A plastic one

The best one that I know of is "grape ivy". It's sometimes hard to find but doesn't require much light.
Years ago, I moved to a smaller apt. 2 months later, I was cleaning out a storage closet and found my "mother-in-law's tongue" at the back of the closet, looking as if nothing had happened! I'd try a "mother-in-law's tongue".
Porthos does well inside. It does well with indirect lighting/no sun, but needs to be watered weekly.
Ivy or an Aloe Vera plant
The plants that I have are in a west window that grow well are a peace lily and a Pothos (ivy). I have some African Violets that are in indirect sun that do well too.
a general rule: the darker the leaves, the less light it needs...horticulture classes.
