The leaves are large and sometimes heart-shaped and come in a wide variety of light and dark colours for the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This species adapts well to a variety of office conditions, from low light levels to brighter ones. This easy-to-care-for plant with heart-shaped white-splotched leaves makes a lovely addition sitting on a desk, shelf or table, and large specimens, trained around a pole or cane, look great in big pots on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-298 size-thumbnail\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aglaonema-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Aglaonema\" class=\"wp-image-298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aglaonema-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aglaonema-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aglaonema<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes just called \u201caglos\u201d or Chinese evergreens, Aglaonema are popular because of the colour that the leaves can attain. While many are deep green, they can also have traces of silver or red. The scientific name is derived from two Greek words; &#8216;aglaos&#8217; meaning bright and &#8216;nama&#8217; a filament or thread, referring to the striking stamens produced within the flowers. It is a popular plant with the Chinese, to whom it symbolizes long life (hence \u201cChinese evergreen\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-293 size-thumbnail\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ficus-benjamin-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Ficus Benjamina\" class=\"wp-image-293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ficus-benjamin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ficus-benjamin-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ficus Benjamina<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ficus benjamina, commonly known as the weeping fig, is a versatile plant which looks attractive as a stand alone specimen or as part of a mixed display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ficus benjamina grows wild in the tropical forests of India, Southeast Asia and Northern Australia and derives its name from an Indian acme Ben-ja. Young plants often develop from seeds lodged in the branches of other trees, soon producing aerial roots which reach down to the ground. Gradually they surround the host trunk and in time fuse together to strangle the tree. Cold drafts from windows or doors will harm them, so make sure to place them somewhere where drafts will not be an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-290 size-thumbnail\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/zamioculcas-zamiifolia-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Zamioculcas Zamiifolia\" class=\"wp-image-290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/zamioculcas-zamiifolia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/zamioculcas-zamiifolia-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zamioculcas Zamiifolia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Commonly abbreviated to the ZZ plant, its complicated-to-pronounce name isn\u2019t indicative of how hard they are to maintain. Their fat stalks and bulging roots store a huge amount of water, meaning you don\u2019t have to search around the office for a watering can every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A favourite for people who are guilty of killing their plants, the ZZ can also tolerate prolonged periods of low light. This makes it the perfect candidate for a desk plant since winter periods can be quite dark. You might think this all sounds great, but it gets better &#8211; It needs little in the way of fertilizer and gets very few pests &#8211; enjoy a hassle free plant!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-288 size-thumbnail\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bromeliads-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Bromeliads\" class=\"wp-image-288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bromeliads-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/bromeliads-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bromeliads<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect for reception areas or dotted along corridors, Bromeliads may require a bit more maintenance at first in order to bloom \u2013 they are notorious for taking their time \u2013 but once they bloom, aside from the odd watering, they require very little care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons for this is that they don\u2019t require much fertiliser, meaning all you need is water and someone to look at them once in a while.
