Houseplants that don't need light?

[MickeysMommy]

Besides a philodendron, what houseplants do well without light? I have a spot inbetween my living room and bedroom (I live in an apt...well, jungle right now with all the plants) that doesn't get too much light?

Any thoughts?

A lucky bamboo plant.

Spathiphyllum (peace lily) does very well in low light conditions, and has the benefit of a white lightly scented flower. Very easy plant to grow.

I have something called Calathea doing fairly well. Says it requires medium light.

However, my Peace Lily plant of two years looks pretty pathetic.

Wow, that peace lily looks really sad, doesn't it? I notice that both plants are a little brown around the edges. Have you been keeping them a little dry? Maybe pot-bound? Maybe need the salts flushed out of their soil? I'm not great at house-plants, but these are a few reasons for browned edges on leaves.

Thanks

I do forget to water them at times...

The first one is in a pot with drainage. I just flush it with water and let it drain through the bottom.
The second one, however, (Peace Lily) is in a pot with no drainage.
I *think* I put stuff in the bottom of the planter but not sure.
