What is a good office plant for an office?

Question

What is a good office plant for an office with sunlight and an occupant with asthma. I looking for it to improve air quality. I don't mind watering it daily and such.

Answer 1

Spider plants improve air quality and they're pretty fool-proof.

Also try vining pathos (which will even root in a glass of water), or Cast Iron Plant (aspidistra) which tolerates bad light and neglect.

Answer 2

You did not say if you are looking for a large potted plant or a desk plant and you did not say if there is good sunlight or fluorescent office light so I will punt most offices live of of basic fluorescent light so you are looking for plants that do not need a lot of light so small plants try pot hos , philodendron's , purple passion plants or anything in the pi-lea family (i like moon valley pi-lea) larger plants again try any thing in the philodendron family or ficus or even the peace Lillie to get a little creative. These are all plants that would do good in any office setting. I would look them up on the internet to see what they look like to get a idea if it is what you are looking for. Good Luck!

Answer 3

ficus.  

Answer 4

I like sansevieria because it can live with less light especially when offices turn the lights down on weekends, it will live over the weekends without fretting for water, rarely blooms and is great for cleaning the air. They grow fairly slowly so they don't need to be repotted often and don't have a large footprint when it comes to space to put them. They have an uptight growth so they won't sprawl all over the office.
