Kitchen Ideas Faqs

I need a houseplant for my kitchen. Very low light and something that doesn't grow very tall. Any ideas?

I want to put a plant on my kitchen hutch. There's no natural light....only the kitchen lights. Also, I want something that's low and bushy and won't grow too high (12" or less).

13. You could look for shade loving plants but to be honest most plants need some kind of light.
14. i would recomend a spider plat.green with short triangle shoots .grows with little watter(the best when your on holiday :D)
15. Lucky Bamboo, the kind that they sell in little pots and some of them spiral. I have one on my desk at work and its never seen the light of day.
16. A spider plant does really well in filtered light. I am terrible at maintaining plants and my spider plant has survived!
17. philodendrum (devil's ivy) which is a vine and grows great in low light or else try a lucky bamboo.. which grows in either just water or soil...
18. ALOE VERA!.... Easy to take care of doesn't need much water and excellent first aid if you burn yourself. But you said bushy, hmm ..... how about planting some nice fresh herbs?
