Food Indoor Plants for an Office without Window

[Jay Chan]

I would like to know which plants are good for putting in an office
environment that doesn't have a window. If it has flowers most of the
year, that will be nice; otherwise, having flowers in one season will
be OK. I don't want it to smell anything because I am afraid that
people around me may be allergic to the smell.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Not sure why you want food indoor plants, but lettuce will grow under
low light conditions. Doesn't smell. If you leave it in place long
enough it will grow flowers also.

That was a typo. I meant to ask for a "Good" indoor plants for an
office without any window.

If a plant is in an office with no windows and no real variation in
temperature, it will have no way of knowing what season it is.

In the windowless computer lab in my office building, we have plastic plants.

Tropical plants sounds interesting. I will take a look to see if I can
find anything.

My aloe vera plants hate being in the window as does the christmas cactus.
Those two might work for you. There's also a broadleaf, vining tropical
plant, that I don't know the name of, that keeps well on top of the
refrigerator :)
