Church Easter Plants for Low Light: Move Them or Use Grow Lights

The Hard Truth

Blooming plants (lilies, tulips, hydrangeas) cannot survive weeks in near-darkness. Three weeks is the max. Peace lilies need some daily light.

Practical Solutions

• Rotate plants: Use carts to move them to sunny windows when church lights are off.
• Supplemental light: 4-tube fluorescent fixtures over plant areas.
• Green foliage: Cast iron plant (Aspidistra) tolerates low light better than most, but still needs some light.

Without daily light, flowering plants are temporary decorations. Plan for rotation or artificial light.
