What's going on everyone? Kevin from Epic Gardening here. Back with Maria from Bloom and Grow Radio and we're talking about low-light apartments.

0:11.0

So yesterday we talked about sunny window sills and what you can do on those

0:14.4

which is certainly quite a few things because you have a lot of the most important ingredient for

0:19.6

our plant which would be light but what if you don't What if you have a low light apartment and you're getting sad and emo because you think

0:26.6

that you can't grow any plants?

0:28.8

You definitely can grow some stuff and I'm going to let Maria come in.

0:32.0

She's got the DL. She has the plant DL and she's going to give it to us right now.

1:30.4

known as Sansaveria I think it's just the most beautiful plant. It's so cool and it is

1:37.3

so hard to kill if you don't overwater it. You can, meaning, you can, I have forgotten to water my snake plant for like a month and it just

1:46.2

1:50.3

1:54.3

breaks my heart about the snake plant is it actually thrives in highlight but
