Help. I have just moved into an office with no windows. That is my nightmare!!! Are there any plants who will live and do well in only artificial light? I surely hope so, or I'll go crazy in a boring office with no windows.

HowD! Welcome to my corner of the gardening community ![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)
Plants that don't require sunlight! M'kay, Peace Lilies, and Rubber Trees will do pretty good in ambient light only. Another good plant is a pothos. I donno of any good flowering plants that could be good without sunlight *thinks* African Violets just need to have a light shined directly on them for about 12-18 hours a day.
hmmmmmmmmm That's all i can think of right now. Hopefully i helped ^.^

my office has a few corn plants and dracaneas that are doing awsome under the fluorescent lighting (sadly, better than my one's at home) i hear fluorescent lighting is a pretty good simulation of natural sunlight. u could also consider buying a small grow light for your office. now, does anyone know if halogen lights will simulate natural sunlight, or just harm a plant?
