Honestly had NO clue where to put this. Please feel free to move. But I feel like MFKers will likely have some kind of answer for me.
My company just opened up our first office, and it's got really high ceilings, but almost no natural light.
I kind of want to put a legitimate tree (or very large overhanging plant) in the corner, but I'm not into palms, huge blocks of wood with pothos stapled to them, or most "indoor" trees in general.
Being a fish/reptile nerd, I know more than the average person about lighting, and I figured I could probably install lighting fixtures above the tree with some intense aquarium flourescents, or maybe even get something from a hydroponics store.
a) Am I crazy? Is any real tree going to die under artificial light?
b) Anybody have some recommendations for cool/unusual looking trees or very large (or large-growing) plants that could grow under these circumstances?
c) What's the best kind of lighting\fixtures to get for this? I could just stick a spare 36'' fixture with 6700k bulbs in it above, but I'm sure there are better options.
As always, thanks all!
