    I'm sure you guys get this a lot, but my job has a plant that is dying.
    The plant is some sort of vine with some sort of moss around it. (I will attach pictures)
    Before I started working at my job the plant was full and lush. When I started working there were four vines left, now there are two.

    I am managing to keep what's left alive, but I would like help to determine what sort of plant it is so I may get more, and any keys for keeping it alive.
    My boss said the nice lady at Home Depot said it was a low sunlight plant and it would work well in the back of a shop.

    Any help would be great

    There's not much to go by but perhaps Epipremnum aureum, Pothos.

    What ever it is, Home Depot will surely have more of it. Pothos seems likely. But if the fluorescent ceiling light is the only light source in the room, I doubt anything will be successful in that spot.

    do you guys have any suggestions for something else that might grow or is that kind a dead spot in the back?

    I can see that a green planter on that wall would look very nice. Pothos is a good choice for low light, so if it did not do well, it would be good to figure out what happened to those plants before planting again. Can you describe the conditions in that spot. How much light and water do they get. What kind of temps. What kind of soil. Do the pockets in that planter drain/breath?

    There are other low light plant suggestions online. Pothos is probably one of the better choices for that spot.
