There are many types of plants that can withstand various conditions such as light and heat, as well as darkness. Especially in an office environment, it can be difficult to choose the right plant.<\/strong> Some spaces can be somewhat stuffy, with little light and sometimes not much oxygen. Many business owners then doubt, whether it makes sense to place a plant. <\/p>\n

But it is quite possible! After all, in nature, various plants also grow in the shade. In jungles or forests, for example, where tall trees usually totally block the sun. These plants fit perfectly in a somewhat darker environment and are therefore well suited for places in an office. In this list, we list 7 of these beautiful plants for you. <\/p>\n

1. Aglaonema<\/h2>\n

The Aglaonema<\/a> is called a true lucky plant in Chinese culture. This plant has very beautiful green leaves with other hues such as yellow and white and survives very well in somewhat darker spaces<\/strong>. So preferably put the plant in a spot in semi-shade or shade. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Aspidistra<\/h2>\n

The Aspidistra<\/a> grows naturally in countries like Thailand and Japan, mainly as a ground cover. This means, that the Aspidistra has always been growing in moist and dark places<\/strong>. Also known as the quarter plant, it grows slowly but stays alive very easily with little maintenance. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Dieffenbachia<\/h2>\n

The large leaves of the Dieffenbachia<\/a> make this plant very popular for indoors. This plant belongs to the arumaceae, which grows mainly in tropical regions on Earth. Therefore, even this plant can survive perfectly in the dark<\/strong>, because even in jungles the plant grows close to the ground, so it survives well in the shade of other trees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Calathea<\/h2>\n

The calathea<\/a> par excellence cannot stand direct sunlight and therefore does very well in a dark place. This plant grows in the Amazon rainforests, among others,<\/strong> where it also lives in the shade of larger plants. The plant has beautiful leaves full of color; from light green to very dark green. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Sansevieria<\/h2>\n

The sansevieria<\/a> is also called lady’s tongue and this is one of the most hardy and resilient plants, that exist. This plant needs almost nothing to survive<\/strong>; a spot in the shade and little water never undercut the endurance of this beautiful tropical green addition. A topper for the office. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Hole plant<\/h2>\n

A plant that is very popular in Belgium and the Netherlands concerns the hole plant<\/a>. The leaves of this plant look like hole cheese<\/strong>, giving any interior an instant refreshing boost with this special plant.<\/p>\n

The hole plant originally grows in South America, where it can grow meters tall. Indoors, the plant does not grow as tall, but can withstand dark environments just fine. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. Spoonplant<\/h2>\n

Finally, the spoon plant<\/a>: a plant that can literally take a beating. This plant has beautiful dark green leaves with white pennants<\/strong> and provides a chic accent anywhere.<\/p>\n
