hi girly girl

what are the conditions like? I work in an air conditioned office, but luckily i sit by a window and my plants are doing very well. I mist them a couple of times a week and give a liquid house plant feed once a week and they are all really healthy. (they were only from B&Q, so nothing special)

in a really dark corner we have a calathea rufibarb....it is also doing well given it gets no natural light. The underside of the leaves feel like velvet, so everyone gives it a little stroke as they walk past!!

My advice is just buy what you like and give it a go!!

People who work in offices forget to water plants, then there are holidays to consider. Get some plastic flowers!

What about the good old Spider Plant. Supposed to be good at cleansing the air, is easy to keep (mine thrives on neglect) looks good and is cheap to buy.
