Hoya plants come in a variety of colors and textures. They are very resilient, so, good for travelers and busy people. They also flower once a year.

A clivia is a beautiful, strappy looking plant that gets a magnificent flower every other year. A show stopper.

You could have some fun forcing bulbs at different times of the year – hyacinth and narcissus in spring.

Kalachoe is good for northern windows, too. Mother in Law plant grows anywhere and will give you a nice vertical accent. Most people will tell you African violets. I prefer rex begonias for the stunning variety of foliage — as beautiful as any flower – mix it up!

If you have north facing windows, you can grow African violets. I have also had good luck with easy stuff like pepperomia and philodendron. They will both grow well with just artificial light. You can also do peace lillies, rubber plants and some yuccas, possibly a ficus tree or a Norfolk Island pine. Good luck!

Stick a lamp on them.....works for the plant that can be made into hemp so it's bound to work for other plants too. ^_^

Any tips on plants to grow in a low light area?
I live in an apartment with windows facing North. What plants would you recommend for me? Any thoughts you have would be welcome.
