Spathyphyllium Peace Lily Plant
This product was recommended by Stanley Mendoza from The Spreadsheet Page
This plant is among the favorites of gardeners and interior designers because of its deep green leaves and elegant white flowers. It can filter indoor air and increase the level of humidity. It’s resilient and easy to care for because it does not need direct sunlight and replenishes once watered. If you like your air conditioner’s thermostat turned down, the cold would not bother a peace lily! Be careful about putting this at home, though! It is toxic to pets.
Cast Iron Plant
This product was recommended by Jim Campbell from Honeymoon Goals
A beautiful plant that can survive in a room with no windows, and one I have in my own laundry room, is the Cast Iron Plant. As the name suggests, this is one tough plant, and a pretty one too with shades of dark green and often white stripes or spots. The Cast Iron plant will grow in complete darkness and is very low maintenance not needing watering often.
Hoya Heart, Succulent-Like Plant
This product was recommended by Kevin from NANBF
My wife purchased me a small, love heart shaped plant for Valentine’s Day, and it has remained a mainstay of my desk ever since – always reminding me of my family (even when I am deep into the small business bookkeeping). It has stayed small, making it ideal for even the busiest, messiest of desks, and requires very little upkeep (only ¼ a cup of water every two weeks). It survives well in low light – making it fab for offices that receive very little natural light.
Live Lucky Bamboo Live Indoor Plants
This product was recommended by Brett White from Addicted to Veggies
There aren’t a lot of plants that can thrive without light, but my favorite of the low-light-loving plants has to be Lucky Bamboo. This small mass of bamboo with a decorative green head looks fantastic in any room it is in and doesn’t need light to grow. However, Lucky Bamboo can be sensitive to certain chemicals in tap water, so you may need to water with bottled water just to be safe.
Radiant Rosette Live Succulent Plants
This product was recommended by Michael East from Griddle King
Succulents are basically plants that you can’t kill. They are able to cope with serious droughts, in fact too much water can cause a lot of harm to these plants. Some succulents have a specific need when it comes to light, but this doesn’t have to be natural light. For the majority of the time artificial lights work just fine. So, your office fluorescents are bound to do the trick.
Aloe Vera Succulent Aloe Barbadensis Plant
This product was recommended by Khamis Maiouf from Book of Barbering
Aloe vera is the best plant for offices with no windows. It is an ancient herb that has long been utilized for health, fitness, beauty, and skincare. The leaf pulp of this magical plant contains about 160 components, including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and so on. This tiny all-rounder can be used for sunburns, bug bites, minor wounds, psoriasis, or neurodermatitis. Due to its unique characteristics, I would recommend aloe vera to keep even in small offices that don’t have windows.

This product was recommended by Brett Robinson from Wired Clip
The Peace Lily is absolutely perfect for keeping in an office that doesn’t get any sunlight because it doesn’t require any light to survive.

Chlorophytum Comosum Spider Plant
This product was recommended by Sarah Beaumont from Indoor Home Garden
Spider plants notoriously don’t like direct sunlight, because they bleach very easily in the sun. Interestingly, they can be grown in artificial light, which is why they would make a great addition to an office with no windows! My favorite thing about the spider plant is that the beautiful, two-tone leaves grow downwards in long swathes of foliage. This makes them easy to look after (as they won’t need any pruning), and it also makes them a great choice for placing on a table in a small office.

One of my favorite plants is the Chinese Evergreen, and it happens to be a plant that can thrive in very low light. Not only is it a plant that is durable and doesn’t need light to grow, but it is also one of the most beautiful plants you can get in an office, blooming with beautiful white flowers and having streaks of pink and purple on its leaves..
Creeping Fig
This product was recommended by Simon Bernath from Furnace Prices
Climbing figs (also known as Creeping figs) are very easy to look after, simply because they only need low light and they can be grown in pots. The one thing they do need is quite a bit of moisture, but beyond that, they will happily grow in an office with no windows. Their lovely green stems will grow downwards towards the ground so make sure you place the plant somewhere high up to get the full effect!
Zamioculcas Zamiifolia ZZ Plant
This product was recommended by Huzaifa Ahsan from FindPeopleFirst
Is your office always on the cold side? The ZZ plant will bring a splash of color and life to the area. It is a type of plant that also survives in zero to no light, so if you are in an environment that doesn’t have windows, it would be better if you got a flourished live plant. It is ideal for offices with no windows since it will survive with no sunlight. However, it would be better if, after a week or two of being in no light, you let your ZZ plant rest for a while to revitalize and recover. Its unique characteristics such as low maintenance and refreshing color make it a great office plant.

This product was recommended by Brian Jones from Best in Edmonton
Sansevieria originated in Africa and is also known as snake plant, snake tongue, bow string hemp, jinn’s or devil’s tongue, and, amusingly, mother-in-tongue. Law’s This typical houseplant has tall, light green leaves with dark green stripes that resemble snakeskin. After watering your Sansevieria, let the soil dry completely before adding more water.
