Thank you all for your recommendations, it is really helping me brainstorm!

I keep a lot of ficus and cactus at home, but I worry how they would cope with the dry air and low light, respectively.

It would be perfect if the Bromeliads would work, I have some that just germinated (so maybe I could bring one over in a few months Crossing Fingers! ).
I would love to get a ponytail palm, but I have heard their light requirement is very high, and I'm scared of killing it off. (but I still want one)

I have secured a Sansivera and a Dracanea.
I will definitely start watching for cast iron plants, Aglaonemas, or maybe a Philodendron at the plant store.

Will, in response to your question, I would like to find plants that would do well in a typical office environment: dry, 70-80 degrees F, and synthetic overhead lighting 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
There is a chance I will have a window, but I would like to play it safe!

Thanks again for all of your swift and informative responses!
