Not every room in the house is blessed with full sun. Fortunately, there are many houseplants that thrive in partial shade and are perfect for rooms with indirect light or windows facing north. These plants create atmosphere, purify the air and add natural beauty to your interior. At The plant Farmer you will find a wide range of partial shade plants that are ideal for places where the light enters filtered.
Why choose houseplants that tolerate partial shade?
Part-shade plants are versatile and can survive in places where sunlight is limited. They are ideal for living rooms, offices and bedrooms where the sun only shines for a few hours a day. In addition, many of these plants are easy to care for and fit well with a variety of interior styles.

• Little direct sunlight required

Watering: Part shade plants need less water. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Spraying: Plants like calathea and monstera like high humidity. Spray them regularly, especially in winter.
Pruning: Remove old or yellowed leaves regularly to keep the plant healthy.
Fertilization: Feed during spring and summer to stimulate growth. Less necessary in autumn and winter.
Rotate the plant: Turn your plants a quarter turn every few weeks so that they grow evenly towards the light.
