Ficus Benjamina, Ficus Retusa, Carmona (Fukien Tea) would be your best bet. Why don't you describe the office. It would help with suggestions. __________________ Travesty34 - GW - Profile

Although with a south window and supplemental lighting you may open your possibilities a bit more. Adam

Posts: 96	Sounds like a pretty good location for a Fukien Tea or a Ficus Retusa. Although, a Ficus Benjimina variety would surely do as well as would a Schefflera. The only thing that might be an issue is the humidity with a Fukien Tea or Ficus Retusa. __________________ Travesty34 - GW - Profile
