Indoor Tree for office?


I moved 12/1 to a new office; a severe downgrade. Gone are my wrap around windows and vast space, replaced by 1 window (approx 4ft w x 5 ft h) in the corner of a much smaller office. My problem, now, is my Ficus tree. I think it's a Benjamin type (2-3 ft braided trunk topped w/ about 1.5 feet foliage w/ elongated leaves).
The tree, located same wall as the window but in opposite corner, has been dropping leaves. I wasn't alarmed by this as I felt it would acclimate to the environment. But, our once weekly plant service is insisting I replace the tree because it no longer gets enough light. I'd be okay with that if I was happy with the alternative plant. They want to put in a Corn Cane which I don't like. I want something, at least, as attractive as what I have & would love something that flowers (or with more interest than plain green/white foliage). I haven鈥檛 had any l luck suggesting anything - I tried hibiscus but was told they need more light than the ficus. Urgently, SUGGESTIONS?

I see someone would have recommended the tree I have currently. Our plant people are who are wanting to take it out due to lack of light. I think that it should be allowed another 30 days to adjust before pulling it. Based on the way I described the office, IS it getting enough light? If not, recommendations please!?!

oh no, it sounds like you are in a difficult position....i advise firstly benjamina ficus, but you tried that.......secondly....you gotta change jobs.....nothing else for it....good luck....

PS: if you want someone to take that ficus off your hands i am addicted to house plants so would gladly take it in and look after it (already have one very mature ficus in retirement so s/he wouldnt be alone).

lucky bamboo dones't need a lot of lights, but they also grow slowly.

sounds like the plant people want to make money selling a new plant. I would get a plant light for the tree and you can put the tree wherever you want it. You can buy those little can lights that shine upward from the floor or get a lamp that hangs on the wall and shine it down on the tree.Just be sure you buy the kind of light bulb that is made for plants. Ask at a plant nursery.
