I want to know if my Polka Dot Plant will thrive if I take it to work? I work at a call center so all my light is artificial i guess??

Hi CJClopton05, yes you prob can take it to work, here in UK we can only grow them as house plants and in winter they cope with a lot of artificial light, I grow them in a basket with other low growing plants for showing different colours and textures but the polka dot always grows very leggy, so I have to cut it back, it looks a wee bit sad for a week or so, but soon throws up new leaves, if it aint doing well, you can always take it home again.
Hope that helps you out.
WeeNel.
