    Hi everyone my name is Gustavo Woltmann, assistant in a private publishers office since 2006. My wife and I wants to have plants at our new apartment but the problem is, it has no direct sunlight on it. Is it ok to have indoor plants? What type of indoor plants should we buy?

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner :sign0016:

    Not really my department, most ferns are ok in shade, but i'm sure someone will be along with better info soon.

    Your location would help folk to advise :)

    Hi there are lots of indoor plants that will grow without direct sunlight, but most like good light if they are to grow well.
    Really dark conditions are not really suitable, so near windows is best, and often during the summer months its best there is no direct sunlight through windows which can scorch plants.

    Without knowing the exact locations and positioning it is difficult to say as to what would do well.
    But in general go for foliage plants, the good old stand bys from the past were alway rubber plants, aspidistra, but worth trying any of the foliage plants on sale in garden centres, the kinds with big leathery leaves.
    Flowering plant are probably best avoided, but if you can provide a bright window I'd suggest Phalaenopsis orchids.

    I'm sure others will have more in put.
