But don’t give up just yet! There are plenty of low light tolerant plants out there–even succulents!–that work wonders in terrariums. 1 – Rhipsalis species Sometimes called “mistletoe cactus,” we love this genus of epiphytic jungle cacti for it’s bright green branches unique structure. Plus there are hundreds of varieties, all of which are well suited for low-medium light.
2 – Hatiora salicornioides “Drunkard’s bones” Think of Drunkard’s bones as Rhipsalis’ woodier cousin. More upright growing, we love this plant because in addition to being easy to care for, it creates an uncannily underwater vibe in a terrarium. 3 – Haworthia species Our ultimate go-to succulent for low light terrariums, planters and just about everything else, members of the haworthia genus are sometimes striped with white, sometimes jewel-like, and always beautiful and just as hardy. We use a haworthia in just about every low light terrarium we make! 4 – Gasteria species A haworthia and aloe relative, gasteria are smoother and less geometric than some other succulents, but easy to care for and producing lots of baby offshoot plants. The quintessential “beginner” houseplant, philodendron (especially darker-leafed, non-variegated varieties) thrive in a tropical terrarium. Given their vining habit, they fare particularly well in hanging vessels.
The pothos brazil (and more common golden pothos) have you covered. This plant is nearly indestructible and makes a great low light terrarium plant. Because it’s highly sensitive to drying out, fittonia makes a perfect low light terrarium plant. We love it because it’s starkly patterned leaves provide color and contrast – it makes a great accent plant – just don’t forget to keep it wet. 8 – Sansevieria ‘Snake plant’ (compact varieties) The ultimate low-maintenance plant, straddling the line between succulent and tropical, sansevieria, especially smaller, more compact species, thrive in a low light terrarium with little care. This plant is a perfect choice for someone who needs low light terrarium plants but doesn’t want to have to remember to water very often! Sometimes called ‘Earth stars,’ we love cryptanthus because, with their shallow roots, they fit just about anywhere. Plus, they often have deep pink, red and green colors, all on the same plant!
A beautiful accent for your low light terrarium. 10 – Asplenium ‘Bird’s nest fern’ Though many people swear by ferns as the best low light terrarium plants, we’ve found that the bird’s nest fern fares the best of them all. Beautifully shaped and slow growing, this bright green beauty makes a fabulous choice for a low light terrarium. What are your favorite low light terrarium plants?

If a photosynthesizing plant does not have adequate light it draws down its energy reserves stored in branches, trunks and roots to
provide the power to fuel its needs. Eventually these reserves are depleted and the plant dies. This decline can be slow and plants rarely can survive as long as a year or two in dim light conditions. on left is a Ficus benjamina 'Too Little' under indoor low lightPlant on right is the same cultivar grown under highThe increase leaf mass, and twig density on the right are signs of more health and vigor.
