Woohooo this is my first post!! I am looking for a flower that can survive in an office. I hae one wall that is three quarters window however there are shades outside that keep a LOT of light coming in. Depending on the weather the plant would get decent sun only from about 10 am to 1 pm. I already have a ficus elastica that is thriving but would like something with blooms. Any ideas? Thanks guys!
Holiday cactus. Compact, colorful (in flower) and very easy (except for Easter cactus, which does not bloom for me). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cactus
Sometimes twice per year here, but once is typical. Easily found at outlets, including supermarket floral departments during winter bloom season. I do not provide long nights or low temperatures to induce flowering, the various kinds I have all bloom in ordinary rooms.
