Yeah I’m not “into” house plants that much, but I’ve been evaluating what to do because I’d love to have them. The problem I have is that I live in an apartment that only has windows on one side, and while it is enough light for general living, roughly 70% of the apartment is not suitable for most plants due to very low light.
Combined with me having a very random sleep pattern which I can’t really “fix”, I have to have the blinds down a lot to be able to sleep properly, making the situation even worse. So honestly I’m thinking of using plastic plants in the darker areas to have at least a bit of greenery there.

Sansevieria. Put them wherever. Give them a couple days by the window on rotation when you think of it. They come in different sizes/styles.
I have one in a bathroom with a small, frosted, tree-shaded window that’s usually hidden by the shower curtain. I’ve forgotten to water it for weeks at a time. They’re fairly hardy. :blobfoxcrylaugh: @Shadow
How much does it cost to run the lights?
Let’s do some math together!
Given they also make my office nice and bright when I’m working in here, that’s a reasonable cost in my mind.
Wowww the fuck, I pay 0.4523€ per kWh, so for me it would be 33.92€ which is ~36$. Roughly 2% of my income each month. Yeaah…
Oof. Yeah I’d be seriously reevaluating my energy consumption at those prices.
