Evan, yes, no natural light. From re reading my post, I may have given the idea that all plants there survive well, but no. I would say half the plants would not survive long term. Only the ones I list are the ones that are both applicable to RickM's needs and ones that continue to grow and look nice long term. The Rabbit's Foot fern is remarkably surprising to me, but it does use a lot of water. Of course the fluorescent bulbs must be at least high output, and all lights are on 16 hours a day (7days a week). 5 days a week, lights are on 2/3 power overnight.
