desk plant

Cubicle living decoration

A desk plant is a small potted plant kept on a workspace, chosen for low maintenance and ability to thrive in indoor light.

The term covers everything from succulents to small ferns.

Desk plants are credited with improving air quality and workplace morale, though their survival rate in offices varies: My desk plant died while I was on vacation.
