Mystery Office Plant: 4-ft, Opposite Leaves, Seeds Pop, Grows in Fluorescent Light

Stasia's office plant: 4 ft tall, leaves sessile on central stalk, long oval with light veins, tiny flowers near stalk, seeds explosively dispersed, 6-week germination, opposite seed leaves, grows in fluorescent light only. Names guessed: "Jacob's Ladder" or "Corporate Ladder." Not Polemonium.

ID Unknown — Need Photo or Seeds

Description doesn't match common office plants. Best path:

1. Email photo to Plantlady6@aol.com (Darlene).
2. Or mail seeds to: Darlene Kittle, 17725 Lima Road, Huntertown, IN 46748 — she'll grow and ID.

Why It's Hard

• "Seeds pop" = ballistic dispersal (rare indoors).
• Fluorescent-only growth = very low light tolerant.
• Opposite leaves + sessile = specific families (Acanthaceae, Lamiaceae, etc.).

Photo = instant ID. Seeds = fun project. Either works.
