Hong Kong offices run AC year-round: dry air (leaf tips brown) and direct drafts (cold, drying swings). The right species and placement solve most of it.
Top picks for dry spaces
ZZ plant, snake plant, pothos (low-light, drought-tolerant); cast-iron plant (Aspidistra, extremely hardy); air plants (Tillandsia, no soil); parlor palm (low light, some humidity); spider plant, money tree, Peperomia.
Placement and care
Don’t place under AC/supply vents; water on the dry side in low light; if tips brown, mist, use a humidifier or pebble tray; move to better-ventilated spots when AC is off.
Office note: These also dampen noise and green the space. In pet offices, pothos is toxic to cats and dogs.
