So it’s only natural that most of us would like to personalize our work spaces to our liking. The problem is that when we bring too much personal property into the office to make it feel more like home, we run the risk of becoming the subject of gossip… even if it’s just plain fun without malice intended by colleagues.
One of the best ways make your office or cubicle feel less dull and lifeless is to add plants into the space. They can be placed on the desk, on top of cabinets, or even at the window bay (if you are lucky enough have one. Here are some of the best low maintenance small plants you can nurture in the office with little worry of them wilting prematurely.
1) Golden pothos
For such a luxuriously looking plant, it can surprise many to learn that the golden pothos require minimal effort to maintain. In fact, it might even thrive with little care. It doesn’t demand attention like most flowering plants do, it is more than capable of holding it’s own against all types of climate, and can survive very well with just artificial lighting.

They come in various sizes. Which means that you can very well pick and choose the most appropriate size that would blend right into your work space. And just like the golden pothos, they have a reputation of cleansing the air which can do any stuffy office a lot of good. Placing one tiny aloe plant beside the monitor screen where it would constantly be in your view can make working those extra hours a little more bearable as you type away at the computer.
3) Cactus
