the tropika site will let you search for plants by light level so look up "low light" and it will bring you some up.

yea, we really should come up with a pinned topic that has to do with plants and what lighting group they fit under...it would be fairly simple and then we could add descriptions/pictures of each of the plants afterwards

Questions are repeated all the time - it's nothing to be sorry about, just the nature of forums. If we pinned a topic on a question that was repeated over and over the forum would just be full of pinned topics. It would be more of a database than an interactive community.

You could read the existing pinned topics at the top of this forum to get most the relevant info/links about plant species and their requirements (the Tropica link is there too).

It has been suggested many times that we create a user-driven plant database. Great in theory but very time consuming, something that is a rare commodity for myself and Lateral Line currently.

The Tropica site is excellent and should provide enough info on individual plants. Obviously more in depth plant experience related questions can be posted here - even if the question has been asked before several times.
