That does not imply you should not have crops. It doesn’t suggest you may’t take pleasure in the advantages of getting/caring for houseplants.
You could have to experiment as in some crops that folks say will likely be tremendous will not be as a result of situations in your property (mild, humidity). Be ready for plant demise till you get the grasp of the routine of caring for them OR discover the crops that work finest in your house.
I’ve a buddy who has has a windowless rest room – however since they heard that XYZ plant loves the moisture in a rest room – they have been attempting to make one of many XYZ crops reside of their rest room with out success. I urged including a develop mild bulb to the sunshine fixture (or a separate lamp) after which leaving it on 8 hours or extra a day… however that was not an choice.
That mentioned, listed here are some crops that are likely to do OK in houses (or workplace buildings) the place temperatures/humidity are largely regular and comfy for people. And oblique mild (not sitting in daylight and casting a shadow) works simply tremendous.
Peace lilly
Snake plant
Spider plant (the stable inexperienced plant appears to be sturdier than the veriagated type)
Some sorts of ivy (or pothos) work nicely.
The Peace Lilly and Snake plant do not want a lot trimming or repotting.
Spider crops and ivy/pothos get gangly and massive (or unfastened leaves that won’t get replaced) so you might should be “heartless and merciless” and minimize them again or begin them over (by rooting the infant spider crops or taking cuttings and rooting the ivy/pothos).
On the workplace, I’ve received a Hedera algeriensis ( a sort of ivy) that is a descendant of a slicing I received over 30 years in the past. At one level it had tendrils that had been 40 toes lengthy and ran alongside the tops of the workplace cubicles. That one is lengthy gone. it is present incarnation is 6 rooted stems in a big pot with vines saved at about 3 to 4 toes and wound ornamental across the pot and a small trellis within the pot. It has been about 5 years and it is getting gangly and ugly/over grown so it can doubtless be getting both a hair minimize (slicing it again to about 8 inches) Or a complete do over by taking cuttings and beginning over. 
I even have descendants of a snake plant from about 50 years in the past – at house and at work. It is a gradual cycle of re potting, taking any “infants” and beginning a brand new pot and perhaps discarding the outdated crops.
I even have the descendants of some very hardy miniature african violets (additionally from about 25 years in the past)- these guys flip round fast – I often propagate new ones each 12 to 18 months. For some purpose they bloom superbly within the fall via February. I feel that is why I maintain them. The pop of colour through the dreary winter months is good. I maintain them on my south going through kitchen windowsill. I feel the summer season months are an excessive amount of solar, warmth, and perhaps humidity for them (that is why no blooms) they appear to love the cooler, drier, much less intense solar mild of the autumn and winter.
The circle of life.
