What plants are office friendly?

[JoshRaf]

I've decided that the my cubicle in the office building I work in could use some greenery but im not sure which plants would survive on my desk, especially over weekends when all the lights are turned off and im not there to water it.

Any suggestions?

Good topic @JoshRaf. I'm sure the Workshop community can come up with some great suggestions.

I like bromeliads @JoshRaf. There are lots of different varieties and they are tough and grow well indoors. 

Here's an example:

Is the Fiddleleaf Fig fad finished?

Mother-in-law’s Tongue - very hardy, needs almost no water. And is trendy at the moment so easy to find.

Peace Lily's are my favourite indoor plant! They have beautiful green leaves and a pure white flower but the best part is as soon as they start looking a little droopy you water them and they perk up within minutes. I don't know how to add a photo to this but google pease lily oh and my advice use a self watering pot so you don't end up with desk puddles.

Silicone transplants, they're unreal, & don't need watering.

I'm on my phone so it doesn't give me those options.
