#1: Cacti

#1: Cacti

Easy to care for and rad-looking, cacti are a no-brainer as office desk plants. They retain water for a long time and need watering only once or twice a week. You could opt for flowering cacti or the long spindly varietyā€“ just make sure to keep it in a corner thatā€™s out of immediate reach!

Pro Tip: If you have a window desk, youā€™re in luckā€“ cacti thrive in direct sunlight. If you donā€™t have a window desk, you now have an excuse to ask for one!

Scientifically known as Sansevieria, the snake plant can last for up to a month without water, so you can take that month off without a care. They do well in low-light conditions but can also hold their ground in sunlight, making them the ideal office desk plant.

Pro Tip: Snake plants are said to purify the air and rid it of toxinsā€“ a perfect companion to dispel negative energy!

#3: Golden Devilā€™s Ivy

Yet another low-maintenance indoor plant, the golden devilā€™s ivy is a potted plant small enough to keep on your work desk. It only needs minimal care and thrives under indirect sunlight. Put some plant food into the pot once a month for additional nourishment.

Pro Tip: Looking at your Devilā€™s ivy plant can tell you how itā€™s faringā€“ the lighter the leaves, the more sun it needs!

#4: Bamboo

Bamboo is great to have as office desk plants because it needs very little light to survive and thrive.

Keep an eye out for the number of shoots you pick out, though, because every number has a different meaning!

Pro Tip: Bamboo scores a lot of brownie points in Feng Shui for good luck. And who doesnā€™t need a bit of luck at work, right?

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
