I'm on the hunt for some indoor plants that can thrive in low-light conditions since I prefer to keep my room pretty shaded. I've been using self-watering pots but noticed that my snake and jade plants have started to yellow and lose leaves. My room faces the sunrise but I keep the shades drawn all the time, so it gets a cloudy shade without direct sunlight. Any recommendations for plants that can handle this kind of environment? Thanks!

While it may seem shaded to you, your plants might not be getting enough light. Both snake plants and jade plants usually need brighter conditions. You might want to try spider plants or lucky bamboo. Spider plants are hardy and can handle different conditions as long as you don't overwater them. Lucky bamboo thrives in low light, so it might be a good fit!
If your room is too dark, consider using grow lights! They can provide the right spectrum of light for your plants to thrive without needing full sun. Just place them close enough to your plants, and they should help a lot!
