Use a light meter or your smartphone as a measure.
If you need to get technical, it’s the range from 25 – 100 foot candles or 270 – 1000 lux. Low light is typically found in areas far away from windows or in rooms with north-facing windows only. But it is important to know the caveats so you can give your plants the best care possible. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to grow plants in these conditions. But, they will certainly not thrive under these conditions. They may tolerate it, or may not show any signs of struggle. Unfortunately, despite the suggestion being repeated across the internet, very few plants (if any) actually prefer to grow in low light indoors. The second myth is that the plants will thrive or look fantastic 24/7 in low light. Without it, some might die slower than others, but they will all eventually die. All houseplants need some form of sunlight to survive due to the process of photosynthesis. The first is that low light is not the same as no light. Before we get into the actual list, we need to dispel some myths about what constitutes a plant that can tolerate less light indoors.
