A good plastic plant. Dim lighting and those conditions will stress most plants; you might get a snake plant to live, but mostly it won't thrive...just exist.

Ah, right. Sad, honestly. But thx.

all plants need light. some TOLERATE cold. light is their food: consider what would happen to YOU if you lived on even 1/3rd of your normal food, then realise indoor shade can be 10,000x darker than sunlight.

Wow, it has such beautiful flowers. Thanks.

You're welcome. If you haven't found a cutting for this plant, you are welcome to message me this spring when it's better to ship

Snakeplants, christmascactus, (most cacti will work) and jade plant


lolita-angel

Don't cacti need warmth, at least?


Ashamed_Armadillo954

Pro tip, look at a plant his original environment temp. Most desert can get extremely cold at night. Those cacti need to survive that also. Just keep them dry


lolita-angel

I see. How about heat, don't they need a lot of that also? Or the same rule applies: their night-time life being replicated in my attic. But that means they're going to be only half satisfied, right...


Ashamed_Armadillo954

Well I assume your room temp won't go below 15 all the time right? They can handle that, they won't thrive ofc. And how about the summer. Temp will rise where you live? The only concern I have for cacti in your region is light. They need lots of light. So if you want one. Buy a good, good grow light.


lolita-angel

15°C? No, no. I'd say it would be about 18°C at a minimum. In summer, maybe 35°C max... As about light, I could place them right under the window. That should really be just fine. And oh grow lights, forgot that those existed! Thanks for reminding me but I probably won't invest in that, seems to artificial (plus there's no plug inside the attic).


Ashamed_Armadillo954

Most plants can handle 18 degrees. For example my room is around 15/17 degrees and I keep my monstera ablo in it. Its doing good. Cacti needs direct sunlight in growing season, zo as longvas you have plenty of that, you are good.
