Most of us have at least one room that isn't brim full of sunshine. Be it a bedroom with one window, a bathroom with filtered light or a living room with no direct or indirect sunlight, we have a table or floor plant to suit you and your room's need. 

There are very few houseplants that want to sit in direct sunlight for an extended time. Many are happy with bright, indirect light or lower light situations. Here are a few we have in stock: (Note* Our inventory is constantly changing to allow our customers a diversity of plant choices.
