Try with ficus, when i was living in a larger place I had all kind of bonsais and when I moved to an apartment the only ones that survived to interiors and little light were the ficus...

I have been researching the same thing. I just purchased a ficus and a "peace lily" (I don't have the scientific name) and they are both doing well.
I also hear that a "chinese evergreen" (which doesn't look like an evergreen) does VERY well in darker spaces. It's also an attractive plant. I have been meaning to pick one up, but the last time I was at Home Depot, they were out. I think I'll try a florist or local garden shop next time.

You've gotten a lot of good answers, but why not install a grow light on the bottom underside of a shelf? This would allow you to have a few more different varieties of plants and flowers.

you're saying there is not any easy on your residence. meaning you won't be able to advance any plant life because of the fact all plant life choose for no less than some easy daily. in case you positioned up a pair of cabinets with gro-lamps, you will have the skill to coax something to advance, even if it won't advance plenty. purchase your self a stable synthetic plant(s). I certainly have 2 Ficus Benjamina 'wood' which i bought in a thrift shop. i've got on no account had synthetic plant life however the sunshine in my residence isn't adequate to advance a great real plant. stable success.

The classic low-light plant that looks tropical and lush is pothos. Home Depot has them in solid green, variegated white/green, and I think I've even seen yellow/green. You can get them in hanging baskets, or climbing up trellises; and they are extremely easy to propogate (stick a cutting in water) so you can make as many as you like!

Sansevaria (mother-in-laws tongue or snake plant). Another really good one is aspidistra (cast iron plant).
