Caring for Your Plants in Unnatural Environments?

spoier asks: "Like many other hi-tech workers, I spend most of my days in a mostly dark cube, with only the tiniest sliver of daylight visible off in the distance over the rat maze. I would really like to have some plants around me to make this environment a little more habitable, does anyone know of plants that will thrive under these very low-light conditions?"

  1. Snake Plants by chewedtoothpick · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They are very popular and I have had great luck with thim in my very low-light basement office. They need a lot of water (at least 2 times a week) and are slow-growing without monthly miracle-grow, but they are very beautiful. They are also easy-to-find and cheap. You may be better off jst buying a garner's UV light though...
