Houseplants that don't need light
Houseplants are powerful air purifiers and give the home a relaxing and cosy atmosphere. However, many houseplants need a lot of light, so having them in the house can be a problem. Fortunately, there are some plants that thrive without a lot of light. These plants are a great way to improve the look of your home, enjoy good air purification and bring a bit of greenery into your daily life even when there is little light. Here are 10 examples of house plants that do not need light:
1. Bromelia (Bromeliaceae)
This tropical indoor plant is a close relative of the pineapple. There are hundreds of varieties of bromelia with different colours and leaves. They are perfect for indoors and look good wherever you decide to put them, as long as they do not receive direct sunlight, which would burn their leaves.
2. Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
The Golden Pothos is a low-maintenance plant that can survive for a long time without being exposed to direct sunlight. It grows quite fast and can be grown both in pots and in water.
3. Sansevieria (Dracaena trifasciata)
It is also known as 'mother-in-law's tongue'. This plant does not need much water or light to survive. It also purifies the air and absorbs harmful chemicals.
4. Song of India (Dracaena reflexa)
It is a plant known for its exotic air. Although the ideal conditions are bright light and humidity, it can survive in low light conditions.
5. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
Spathiphyllum is an ornamental plant distinguished by its variegated dark green leaves. It needs little light and can also grow in relatively humid conditions.
6. Philodendron (Philodendron)
It is often used in homes for its ability to purify the air, but it is actually a low-maintenance plant and can even survive in limited lighting conditions.
7. Dieffenbachia
This beautiful plant with its distinctive leaves will look great in any corner of your home. Dieffenbachia does very well in low or indirect light conditions. However, just be careful if you have small children or pets in the house, because there are parts of the plant that are toxic and can cause allergic reactions.

8. Maidenhair fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris)
If you like extravagant plant shapes, the maidenhair fern is ideal. Ferns have beautiful, small, abundant leaves. They can be kept in the shade, as long as the moisture requirements are met.

9. Prayer plant (Maranta)
This plant gets its name because as night approaches, the leaves close up and look like praying hands. Maranta is a perfect plant for interior decoration, but be careful when watering to avoid overdoing it.
10. Spider plant (Chlorophytum)
The most common and widespread species is called Chlorophytum comosum, which is also known as the 'spider plant' because of the small seedlings that hang along thin stems that look like little spiders. This plant can very well survive with little sunlight.

It may sound like a trivial question, but in fact it is not trivial at all; on the contrary, it holds within it very important physical and philosophical questions. The Washington Post noted that this question is stirring up some of the people on Twitter these days.
The debate was generated by a tweet from journalist Jacqui Deevoy, who wondered how it was possible that the sun had 'changed colour' from what she remembered as a child. The answer, however, is one that leaves one somewhat appalled, as there is no real unequivocal answer.
After all, children do not make a mistake by drawing the sun as a big yellow ball, but it is not a completely right answer. After all, light is just the perception of the wavelength of radiation emitted by the sun, and therein lies the whole secret.

Napoleon Bonaparte, often also referred to as Napoleon, was a French politician and general, founder of the First French Empire and protagonist of the first phase of contemporary European history, known as the 'Napoleonic Age'.
His conquests throughout Europe and beyond make him one of the finest military strategists ever, but his importance is not limited only to victories in the field. Also important were some campaigns, such as the one in Egypt, which returned priceless treasures to the world.
His life, studded with continual ups and downs, intrigues, murders and love affairs, ended in 1821 on the island of St Helena, in exile, due to stomach cancer. Although his life has filled the history books for over a century, some curiosities may still have escaped you.
