Office plant
« on: October 14, 2015, 10:25:17 »
I recently moved desks to one with a little more light (I am under a skylight before it was no natural light and only good for spider plants).
Would the following survive/thrive?
African Violet
Christmas cactus
Mother in law tongue
Gloxinia
Desert cactus
The above I all have at home - although anything else would be interesting

Also if anyone has any advice about dividing Gloxinia I would be grateful.

I should avoid the African violet as they're a bit delicate and offices tend to have fairly punishing environments for plants. The cacti (both sorts) should be OK.

 I agree with Robert plus I would also say Mother in Law's Tongue as it is more of a structural plant ( subject to what variety of Cactus you grow)

It would make a statement ( as most Mother in Law do ;)
