what trees to bring to work?

[Nwaite]

I'm going to get or bring a few trees to work if they'll let me... have a few windows that I found I can use...

What would do ok there guys?

It's a saw mill so it's dusty dry and one window is no southern and other I get a bit of direct light around noon.

What would do well enough there? Any ideas?

Ficus?

 

[Nwaite]

Ya I was tinkling maby... I have a few small ones but I didn't know how they would do with the real dry air...

Maby shefflera?

 

[Cypress187]

I only know the Ficus because i have some, you most likely need a tropical (wiki told me shefflera is pantropical, so i guess is also good).

You may want to see a doctor about that....

I don't think anything would like the dust and dry, but take a test mallsai that you don't care about and see how it does.

Hell yeah....

If a maby is HAlF the size of a baby....
That's gotta hurt.

Whatever you bring.....
It will be a good place to work on a "frightened" looking tree.

It will be dry ands dusty..... but they won't half to worry about falling out a window. ..

North window being cooler think Succulents. They handle cool, dry, and lower light conditions well. The only thing you may find a pain is cleaning all the dust off. I don't have to often but I find a 1 dollar makeup brush works good.

Like a jade?

I have a mini one but I rather keep at home... but I have a regular sized one to. Could try that.. I just thought it wouldn't do well with out alot of light.

We keep all of our succulents on the dry side and all in low light compared to anything else. Also cooler. We have several for years that way. My Wife has a regular Jade at her office she treats the same and it grows out of the pot yearly that was started from a leaf. The only thing I find with any of them is they go to hell quickly if the plant gets water stuck between the stem and the leafs so we are cautious to just water the substrate. Heck, even outdoors in the Summer they get little sun and are kept under a deep soffit so they don't get rained upon which causes that problem with the petals.

I would bring a bonsai that an artist has made out of wire. Will tolerate your harsh conditions.

They're bringing the trees to you!
Or should I say wood.

I've kept ficus, schefflera, and Kingsville boxwood in a north facing window at work over the winter. They don't thrive, but they have survived. They go back outside when the temps are sufficient.

I sit in an office without any windows and have kept a jade alive. It's been about 9 months now and counting.

Keep being a smart ass I'll show you a harsh condition buddy!

I have ficus in my office at work
Under t-8 lighting. No sunlight.
If it's really dusty though just leave them at home. Sorry

Houseplant. This is no place for a tree.

I've thought about one of these for my desk, and maybe cycling a few mame/shohin ficus between home and work:

Cycling is a good solution if you want to do this, just be prepared for some of them not to like getting moved around a lot. I would get some sort of computer cleaner (compressed air) blower thing to get the dust off regularly.
