Anyone know of any indoor plants that will survive in a room with no windows? The room is not pitch black, but only receives very limited filtered light. Thoughts?

Cast iron plant
"If you're looking for a plant that does well in a shady spot, this is the one for you. This is called The Cast Iron Plant and it lives up to its name because it is tough. It's the Aspidistra (Aspidistra elatior) and most people will know it because in the Victorian era, they would plonk one of these plants in a brass bowl or a pot and they'd stick it in the darkest part of the parlour behind the piano and it would thrive on neglect."

No just the one tree. They're quite tall and wide fully grown.

There are 2 common ones...one that grows about 3 or so metres which is mainly used for hedging and the bigger one (robusta).
