Default Houseplant recommendation - shady location

And I "third" the recommendation. You can't do anything to kill a
philodendron. I have one on an overhang and it's grown about a foot over
the past year. Invest a little more in a fuller one -- either that or be
prepared to take cuttings, root them and re-pot all together to make it look
nice & full on your ledge.

I second this. I have one growing in my bathroom and it's doing
great. No real light at all, the only window is shaded by an awning.
They love the humidity.
