    I am trying to care for this plant at work, and am having a little difficulty. Im sure it's a common household plant... but can anyone tell me what it is?

    thank you for helping me identify this plant. i re potted it this evening, and broke up some of it at the roots to help it fill out in the pot more evenly. What can I do to help it to flourish now that I have re potted it?

    Water it when it gets dry to the depth of the first knuckle on your index finger, give it nice indirect light, and mist it occasionally if you're in a low-humidity kind of place, to prevent spider-mite development.
