    Hi

    We have recently rented an office for business purpose. The office has a long windowsill. However because everyone uses computers in the office, the blind is always down. We are planning to get some plants for the office. Can anyone suggest some plants that can tolerate little lights / artificial lights?

    We are planning to get some green tall plants for corner of the office and something that's more interesting maybe for the windowsill or the staff's desks?

    Any suggestions are much appreciated. [​IMG]

    There is a small article on my website entitled 'Light and the House Plant' that might give you some ideas of which plants to choose.

    The link is in the left column of the opening page.

    I'm a bit late finding this thread but if you haven't already tried then I found fibrous rooted begonias, buisy lizzy, cyclamen and blackeyed Susan did fantastic on the windowsill and Saintpaulia - "African Violet" and varigated ivy did fine in the less well lit areas of the office. Spider plants and Christmas cacti will do pretty well anywhere.
