When you ended the Subject line, 'with a twist,' it made me think of Curly Lucky Bamboo.
Mine is living off the side of a window, in water, about 3 yrs now. There are different varieties, even colors.
It does fine in low light, and pretty care-free.

This is what it looks like.

Is there any specific type of plant you'd like? For instance, one that flowers? Grows tall? Scented? Toni

Pretty, Toni! I have a couple of lucky Bamboos in my office. I was thinking of just moving them home. They're nothing as gorgeous as yours, though! In fact, one is slowly recovering from root rot.

I'm not really picky on the plant. I could do a tall one on the floor or a smaller one on my dresser. Anthing that will flower in low light would be pretty cool, but I wasn't sure there was anything out there that can also tolerate lower temps.

I went into Home Depot today for a couple of pots for my Pothos and, of course, had to adopt a couple new babies. I'm pretty sure one is a Dracaena of some sort. I've heard those will do fine in low light. The little guy looks a little sick. I couldn't just leave him there to die! I'll be posting a picture asking for help soon! :)

Kim, that's what I was going to ask. How cold does the room get? duh. lol.

Plants will live in cool, even cold temps...the one thing you must remember: the cooler the temp, less watering is needed..

Both my plant rooms are cool. One room, gets really cold. One night it was 23F, but that was before we had new windows installed..Still, there's nights it drops in the high 40's. I keep Hibiscus, citrus, and many other plants in this room, but most that can endure cool temps.

There's different levels of shade. Some plants are meant to live in shady spots, and bloom, too.
Also, people see 'light' differently. What you might say is shady, I could consider it bright indirect light. It varies.
Kim, the majority of my plants are mid to high light. Living in IL, winters are cold, dry and dark. Yet, many plants flower in winter. Anthuriums is one example, although they look best in medium light.
I keep lights on certain plants, especially succulents, but a limited time at night. a few hours.

In my experience, I pot in my own soil mix, withhold fertilizer during winter, use a humidifer, and mist daily. It balances out throughout the year.

Dracaenas will live in low light, but not total shade or a completely sunless area. They really do best in medium light..It depends on the species and whether or not it's variegated.
I'm curious which plant you found at HD..lol..Toni

Here she is!

Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's a Drecaena. I'm sure I've even seen it named on here, I just can't think of it. It's a little sick looking, but I'm thinking some fresh soil and TLC will make a big difference! Poor thing had dirt, gravel and dead leaves of other plants between its leaves. :( I can see some leaves have been cut off. Should I cut just the brown tips off, or cut some more leaves....or just leave the poor thing alone until it has some healthy new growth?
