My home office. I couldn’t do it without my plant friends. - eviltoast

Working from home was a difficult transition for me, but adding plants (and having good light) make all the difference. I thought you folks would approve.

    Lovely, thank you for sharing! For some reason I can’t see any comments in jerboa atm, so please excuse if this has already been asked. What is the tall one on the left, and is it happy to stay away from the light? All office greens complain when they’re not plastered up against a window.

      The tall one on the left is an arabica coffee plant I’ve grown from seed. It’s actually fine with the indirect light from being away from the windows and from the bright lights above.

        That makes perfect sense since I think coffee is grown in the understory? How long has it taken to grow to its size? If it’s not too long, I give it a try!

          I think you’re right about the understory. They like indirect partial sun, it seems. I do have a bright light above it as well. I think it took like 5-7 years to get to this point, but that was with some set backs when I was figuring out watering.
