How about Pothos for your office? Should do very well. Attractive, not messy, easy to find and easy to grow.



Pothos - Golden, Marble Queen, Jade
Pothos and more correctly Epipremnum aureum is known from its yellow-marbled heart-shaped leaves. If it isn’t the #1 indoor plant in North America is certainly is one of the top ones.

Pothos also goes by a few other names – devil’s ivy, pothos ivy and has a few cultivars. The most common variety “Golden Pothos” gets the most use in the interior business. Two other varieties are “marble queen” with a streaky white on green and “jade” which is green.

You find Pothos used as a ground cover, planted in hanging baskets, or as a desk accent.

One of the primary reasons Pothos continues in popularity is that it can tolerate lower light, lower humidity and cooler temperatures than many other plants.

Pothos does not like wet feet and the soil should not stay too moist. Every so often a Pothos could use a good pruning – but prune selectively. This will also promote new growth.
