• Mother in law's tongue/snake plants are very very hard, as are most Sansaveria types and quite happy with indirect light and a degree of neglect. In terms of hanging plants, I have what I think is Devil's Ivy/Golden Pothos and it's doing extremely well in very similar conditions to what you describe, and as a bonus it's very easy to propagate!

    I also have a type of Peperomia with very round, green leaves next to an Areca Palm and both are doing very well in a bright room without direct sunshine.

    I'm sure there will be far more knowledgeable people out there with better information around the misting/non misting issues regarding each of these plants, it might simply be I fluked it and that's why they are thriving! Saying that, some plants next to the peperomia and the areca struggled in that same spot, so they might indeed be more resilient to indirect light only.

  • Cheers for the recommendations!
    I do actually have a snake plant in that room already and indeed it is quite happy with the medium amounts of light it gets 🙂 ..looking for something that either hangs down from a little shelf or something that doesn't grow as tall / tstraight up though.
    Have looked at Golden Pothos and this seems to be a really good option! 👍
    Peperomia is not really my cup of tea to be frank, palms I like a lot but so far I have killed every single one of them rather quickly, think it's just too dry because of the heating in this room..
    Thanks again, will look for a Pothos!

  • Thinking about that plant made me wonder if it is a pothos or is in fact a nearly identical philodendron - turns out it is a philiodendron!

    That said, the other plant I have near the aforementioned palm and peperomia is a pothos, and is also doing well. Both have a reputation for being very hardy and unfussy in a wide range of environments apparently.

    Bonus mention for the maranta/prayer plant, another one which has been doing well despite being out of direct light and not too far from a radiator.
