I'm new to this board and would like to say hi to everyone.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any plants that don't require much sunlight? I live in an apartment with limited natural light, very few windows at all. I wanted to spruce up the place a bit with a few plants but not sure what to get. Thanks

I never heard of that plant and didn't realize catus didn't need much light.

I enjoy movies, too much I think, I've seen just about everything.....lol. I just got into reading Nicholas Sparks books. I read A Bend In The Road. That is a great book, I couldn't put it down. Now I'm reading The Rescue. It's a good book so far. I've also got into refinishing furniture. Last summer I refinished an old dresser. It was my first project and came out really well. I really enjoyed it. Now I'm working on an old stand with drawers. Taking pictures is another hobby of mine, especially scenery.

Thanks for the plant ideas and talk to you soon.

Hi & welcome,

I've never had a problem with a Lucky Bamboo plant. I have them at home & at the office.
They're very easy to take care of,(just water,no dirt) they don't require alot of light & you can make them as big as you want by buying the different stalks & designing your own arrangement.

Good luck,
Kim :)
