Indoor plants have gained popularity in modern office spaces, particularly those with limited natural light. Many workplaces incorporate greenery to enhance aesthetics, improve air quality, and promote well-being. Studies from NASA and the American Society for Horticultural Science indicate that certain plants contribute to air purification by absorbing toxins. Additionally, research by the University of Exeter highlights that office plants increase productivity and reduce stress. However, maintaining plants in windowless spaces presents challenges due to insufficient sunlight and fluctuating indoor temperatures. Common office conditions, such as artificial lighting and inconsistent humidity levels, necessitate the selection of resilient, low-maintenance plant species that can adapt to such environments.

Several plant varieties thrive under artificial lighting and require minimal upkeep. The pothos (Epipremnum aureum), known for its cascading vines, and the ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), recognized for its glossy leaves, flourish in low-light conditions. The Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) offers variegated foliage, adding a decorative element to office spaces. The snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata) stands out for its vertical growth and ability to withstand infrequent watering. The cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior) tolerates artificial lighting and temperature variations, while air plants (Tillandsia) require no soil and only occasional misting. Despite the misconception surrounding air ferns (Sertularia argentea), which are not living plants, genuine low-light species contribute to a more inviting and vibrant workspace. The integration of indoor plants into office environments fosters an atmosphere that supports both aesthetic appeal and employee well-being.
