The plants that resist at the entrance of the house even with little light

If you are looking for resistant plants at the entrance of the house even with little light, there are many solutions that combine aesthetic and practicality. Some species are surprisingly adaptable and ideal even for not very enlightened environments.

Often we find ourselves wanting to give a green touch at the entrance, but you immediately think: “Here you will never grow”. And instead it is not so at all. The right species are enough, chosen with a pinch of common sense, and some practical measures, to transform the darkest corner into something alive and welcoming. Tropical greenhouses, artificial lights or Zen garden systems are not needed. Even an entrance to the twilight can accommodate luxuriant and healthy appearance plants, as long as we start with the right expectations. You can start with something simple but effective, such as a ceramic vase or a high carrier, to create a well -kept first impression.

And if the WOW effect comes with zero effort, all the better. Why let’s face it, who has the time (and the desire) to stay behind a plant every day?

Resistant plants at the entrance of the house with little light: the most scenographic from shadow

In not very bright environments we tend to think that plants cannot survive. But many varieties were born precisely for “soft” environments, such as underboschi, humid corners or caves. In fact, some internal plants seem to be made on purpose for those dark and a little neglected entrances. One of the undisputed queens is the Zamioculcas zamiifolia. It does not fear the low light, on the contrary, it tends to perish if too exposed to the sun. It has fleshy, shiny, always perfect leaves: it seems almost fake, yet she is alive and vegeta. Then there is the Sansevieriaalso known as the “mother -in -law”. Minimal, vertical, very robust. It resists the dark, warm, cold and even forgetfulness. Ideal for those who want green but not thought.

Also the Pothos It is an indispensable classic. It grows everywhere, even above, on shelves or mobile. A bowl hanging is enough and immediately makes atmosphere. Its heart -shaped leaves, bright green or varied, are always a guarantee. And then there are the Aspidistrathe Aglaonema and the Paralysis: all plants that love shadow and humidity, perfect for entrance, perhaps next to a wooden shoeer or a decorative mirror. The important thing is to never leave them dry and every now and then give them a clean to the leaves. They don’t ask much, but they make it seem more cared for it.

How to choose entrance plants based on light (and unexpected events)

First of all, a simple but crucial evaluation: the entrance receives indirect light, reflected light or is completely in the shade? Based on this, the choice changes. Some entrances seem more dark than they really are, especially if the walls are covered with turning off or if there are too heavy curtains. It is worth observing the area at different times of the day to understand how much light actually enters. No plant lives without light completely, but there are many that are satisfied with very little.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• If there is a little natural light, even if not direct, go ahead Dracena, Calathea e Peperamia.
• In the almost total absence of light, it is better to focus on Zamigoculcas, Sansevieria or one Aspidistra.
• If the environment is very humid (as often happens in some internal entrances), Felci and Aglaonema will be happy.

Curious to note that some of these plants, in nature, grow in the shadow of gigantic trees or in tropical underboschi: they are used to doing a lot with little.

A little practical makeup? Place one Mirror near the plant: reflects the natural light available and helps the plant to “think” of being in a brighter place. It does not make miracles, but helps.

Green furnishing ideas: how to enhance even the greatest entrance

Sometimes it is not just a matter of which plants to choose, but of how to arrange them. Even the most bare entry can become interesting with some more details.

They can be used High and thin vasesperfect for narrow columns or angles, or intertwined baskets In natural fibers for a warmer and more welcoming effect. The Plants falling Like Pothos or Filodendro can be placed on a high shelf, for a truly scenic cascade effect.

What if the entrance is very small? Better to focus on one single but effective plantperhaps next to a wooden bench or under an hanger with vintage design. Sometimes a detail is enough to transform everything.

In short, even the forgotten corners of the house can become protagonists. A few right choices are enough and a pinch of creativity.

An entrance to plants is a silent invitation to calm, a simple way to say “welcome” without words.

It is worth trying, even if you think you don’t have a green thumb.
