| Could anyone tell me what plant this? Can I keep it in a windowless office with at least eight hours of artificial light a day? Do you think $75 is a fair price for it?  |
| Compare to Ficus 'Alii' Banana-Leaf Ficus (Ficus maclellandii 'Alii') Fair price = the going rate in your area for a comparable specimen. Once ID'd, you should be able to determine that easily, and the range of conditions it could tolerate. |
| That is the going price for F. Alii in the Plant Market on 28th Street. Unfortunately, It will not survive under artificial light alone. It will need to be quite close to a moderately sunny window. A Dracaena 'Lisa' will hold up much better in your office. It is more expensive, but a much better value. |
