Looking for ideas for this shelf. I know there is no such thing as true low light plants, but hoping I can find some that will work/thrive in this set up. This shelf sits in the corner next to a large west facing bay window.
I have 2 more grow lights (Barrina 5T) I can add, but I don't know if they'll work given how far apart the sections are. If the plants are small enough and wouldn't mind, I can move them between the shelf and the window sill in the afternoons to help get more light.
Some of my ideas & concerns:
– Prayer plant: They are on a lot of begginer lists, but they sound finicky and very hit or miss across Reddit.
– Trandescantia Zebrina: Seem very easy, but I'm worried about how they grow (are they more horizontal ground cover vs true trailing?)
– Boston fern: Messy? We are likely a bit dry for them
– Bird's Nest fern
– Snake plant
– Christmas cactus
– Pothos
Not a fan of spider plants. I've been looking at ZZ plants, but not sure how I feel about them.
Would love some more ideas and to know if any of these would absolutely not work.

For me I have always found these to still go good in low light.
– peace lily
– happy tree
– Pothos
Lowkey looks like the Minecraft scaffolding 😆 should definitely post in r/minecraft
Aglaonema, it comes in so many pretty colours and it can tolerate low light
Hear me out. Do not rush to fill up this space. If you are anything like me, this space will fill up fast by not trying!!!
I would recommend a variegated lipstick plant to you though. I love mine especially when it blooms.
