Can I Add Medium/High Light Plants to a Low Light Tank?

[Whitelightning]

Sorry if this is a silly question that has an obvious answer, but I'm not the smartest. I have a list of plants I want to add to my tank. I found out I have a low light tank. (I'm not going to add all of these plants and will eventually narrow it down). Here's the list:
Amazon Sword: Light level= low-moderate
Water Lettuce: Light level= natural light -medium
Elodea Densa: Light level= low
Marimo Ball: Light level= moderate
Staurogyne Repens: Light level= moderate-high
Banana Plant: Light level= low-high
When it says natural light for the water lettuce, does that mean sunlight? What's natural light? Also, can I add all these plants in my tank if I have a low light tank? Thanks!

if it states it requires High Light it just means it will not thrive in a low light tank.

Thanks for your response! Will it die in a low light tank? (Wow, a response from a moderator, I feel special)!

They wont die, they just won't thrive.

If you get a species that is particularly tough to keep, it will likely die.

None of the plant you listed are high light requirement, they should all be fine at low light levels so long as their nutrient demands are met.

Ahhh thank you so much, this is so helpful!

Don't apologize, it's not a silly question at all but rather a very smart and relevant one! Generally, plants labeled as high light won't survive long-term in insufficient light. Moderate/medium are usually hardier with varied lighting. Water Lettuce thrives in "natural light" (i.e. part-shade/medium/moderate), for instance, but it can adjust to lower lighting as long as it's near the light source. Amazon Sword and Marimo thrive in med but do fine in low, the same as how Egeria and Banana Lily thrive in low but can adjust to moderate
