than my second problem is with a bench.
the bench stands in the shadow of the sun so there isnt much light. but its way to dark to make any sense out of it.
is the only way that i can solve this by adding a spotlight on top of it? (seems ridiculous, getting no light out of light source)

Nothing wrong with a fake light, low brightness so its not too intrusive

Thanks.
About the plants i solved it.
On the prop i turned the shadows off now i can see the grass texture on the floor.
And my sun is still casting shadows of the plants on the wall.

Thanks for the help.

Looks like the ambient light is too dark, increase the brightness

Depending on the prop, sometimes it won't have a proper collision mesh. Thus VRAY thinks it's just a square/rectangle. A simple fix is disabling shadows or you could recreate the prop. Info_lighting could be your solution to the benches being darken.
