Low-Light Hospital Lobby Plants: Fluorescent-Light Tolerant Species

Windowless lobbies with only fluorescent light can support these tough plants:

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema)
Dracaena 'Janet Craig'
ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
Corn Plant (Dracaena massangeana)
Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans)
Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

No plants survive long-term without fluorescent or natural light. Incandescent bulbs don't support photosynthesis. Rotate plants occasionally for even growth.
