Cissus

This unpretentious climbing flower agrees to exist both in partial shade and in diffused light. Please note: cissus grows quickly. To turn the plant into a beautiful bush, you will need special vertical supports.

Cyperus

You can safely place the pot with this plant in either light partial shade or bright diffused light. Like its aforementioned brother, cyperus does not require any special conditions. The main thing is that the room temperature does not fall below 15 degrees.

Fatsia

Fatsia owners place it both in the back of the room and near the window. Shading does not worsen the appearance of the plant, but be prepared for the fact that it will grow more slowly. And yet, if we are talking about variegated species, it is better to provide them with diffused light, not partial shade.

Hedera

Ivy with its green leaves will do well in partial shade. The exception is variegated species, which need diffused light to maintain their color.
