Question

How can I grow plants without sunlight?

Answer

Although most plants require sunlight for photosynthesis, there are some that thrive in low-light conditions or even complete darkness. These include plants like snake plants, pothos, peace lilies, and certain types of ferns. To successfully grow these plants indoors, ensure they receive enough water but avoid overwatering, maintain proper temperature between 65°F – 75°F during daytime and 50°F at night, place them near a north-facing window where direct sun is minimal or use artificial lights with full spectrum bulbs designed specifically for plant growth if necessary.
