   Hello, All.   
      
   This is an article that I found interesting for ideas for plants if you have a   
   home office.

   Office Plants – Growing Indoor Plants For Home Office Spaces General   
   Houseplant Care	 By: Mary H. Dyer, Credentialed Garden Writer Image by   
   KatarzynaBialasiewicz If you work at home, you may want to use plants to liven   
   up a bland workspace. Having living plants in your home office can make days   
   more pleasant, boost your mood, and increase your productivity. Read on for   
   suggestions on home office plants to consider. Indoor Plants for Home Offices   
   Choosing plants for workspaces in your home is similar to that of any   
   houseplant you have. Freestar Consider growing conditions, such as available   
   light and space, when choosing houseplants for a home office. Generally,   
   plants for workspaces are relatively compact, but in the home nearly anything   
   goes. Most require little care and tolerate occasional neglect. Here are a few   
   suggestions for home office space plants. Pothos (Epipremnum): A popular   
   office plant for good reason. It’s a lovely, fast growing plant that   
   cascades gracefully from hanging baskets or high shelves. Pothos tolerates   
   both shady corners and sunny windows. It likes to be watered every few days   
   but will survive an occasional period of dryness. English ivy (Hedera helix):   
   Requires very little attention once the roots are established. Although   
   English ivy is good for cool, air conditioned offices and thrives in filtered   
   bright light to low light, this woodland plant doesn’t do as well with   
   direct, intense sunlight or dramatic temperature swings. ZZ plant (Zamioculcas   
   zamiifolia): This plant is enjoyed for its shiny, dark green leaves. Super   
   hardy, it prefers moderate to bright light but tolerates low light or   
   fluorescent bulbs. Periods of drought are also okay but, ideally, ZZ plants   
   should be watered when the top two inches (5 cm.) of potting mix feel dry to   
   the touch. Snake plant (Sansevieria): Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue,   
   this is a distinctive plant with stiff, upright leaves. The plant can go a   
   long time without w   
      
   ater and, as a rule, monthly irrigation is plenty. Snake plant, which   
   tolerates both heat and air conditioning, is a good choice for a shady corner.   
   Rex begonia (Begonia rex cultorum): An exotic, colorful plant that is   
   surprisingly easy to grow. Although you may occasionally be awarded with a   
   pretty bloom, rex begonia is valued for its interesting foliage. While it   
   doesn’t appreciate intense light, it needs moderate or bright indirect light   
   to bring out the bold colors in the leaves. Water only when the soil feels dry   
   to the touch. Cactus: Cactus, as well as other succulent plants, is always one   
   of the best office space plants. Choose from a huge range of colors, forms,   
   and sizes then water sparingly. Ensure the cactus gets plenty of direct   
   sunlight. Freestar These, of course, are merely suggestions. Depending on your   
   available space, indoor conditions, and personal preferences, you could even   
   include a potted tree or other large floor plant, like citrus, rubber tree   
   plant, parlor palm and dracaena.
