Hello,

I work in a small office and wanted to spruce it up with a plant or two, however there are no windows to provide any light.  I think this poses a problem in having a real plant, but are there any plants that I could keep in my office that need little to no sunlight?  Thanks for your help!

Sarah,

If you have flourescent lights and they are on for at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week you could use a low light plant. If the lights are not on every day I suggest that you use a silk flower arrangement to decorate your office.

If the lights are on 12 hours every day let me know and I will  give you a list of low light plants. Good luck.

Darlene

My favorite would be the sansevieria. Good luck.
