Maybe you've got a great spot to place a houseplant, but it doesn't get much light. Most plants won't thrive in very low light, but some will.
Here is a list of low-light survivors:
Bird's nest fern (
Asplenium nidus
)
Chinese evergreen (
Aglaonema
)
Cast-iron plant (
Aspidistra
)
Dracaena
English ivy (
Hedera helix
)
Parlor palm (
Chamaedorea elegans
)
Philodendron
Piggyback plant (
Tolmiea menziesii
)
Sansevieria
Schefflera (
Brassaia actinophylla
)
Weeping fig (
Ficus benjamina
)
Peace lily (
Spathiphyllum
)
