Low light does not mean no light. Put plants near your brightest window and choose forgiving plants like pothos, snake plant and ZZ plant. Rotate them if they start leaning.

A small grow light made a big difference in my dark apartment. It does not have to look ugly; there are simple bulb options you can put in a normal lamp.

ZZ plant is the toughest low-light plant I own. It grows slowly, but it survives. Just do not water it too often.
