House plants - help needed

I have a house palm that is turning brown and dying - I have reported it, fed it, watered it.
I think it doesn't have enough light.
What house plants don't need a lot of light?

Peace lilies. They are also tolerant of neglect - they droop and look sad, but just stand the pot in a sink of water to rehydrate and they perk up again. However, don't put them anywhere a pet could eat them, they're supposedly toxic (that applies to quite a few plants).

Ferns
Orchids
Rubber Plant (I think that's what it's called??)

You may have had more knowledgable responses if this were in the Gardening topic.

No additional advice, but sniggering at the fact you 'reported' your plant. Bit harsh!😂

you can get led grow lights relatively cheaply from ikea.
just light up the dark corner

overwatering also might be a problem. most houseplants need a lot less water than we think. a plant like this in my house gets water every 4 weeks or so. most (not all of course) need to be dry occasionslly to thrive.
