There are plants that need minimal sunshine.  The space you have will determine the kind of plant you can get for your home. How big is the space? Some plants need bigger space than others.

Do your research on what kinds of plants will work best with your lifestyle.  It almost never happens that people adjust their lifestyles for the plants in their home. People should choose plants that match their lifestyles.
