Default Indoor plants - artificial light only


"John" wrote in message
We have a nice little plant in the corridor in our office. No idea what
it is - sort of a miniature tree, looks to have citrus-like leaves.

It has just been moved to the corridor: it will only ever get artificial
light, 10 hours a day, five days a week, where it is. (It's not my
plant by the way.)

Is it going to perish? Or will artificial light suffice for some plants?


Depends on the light intensity but normally these plants are chosen for
their hardiness under low light levels.
I would think it more likely to be one of the Fiscus sp. that a Citrus.
