I would love to keep a plant on my desk, but I have an office with no window. I can't seem to find a pretty plant that doesn't need sunlight...

You need indoor plants, they are usually tropical and come from the forest floor so they don't need sunlight. Good nurseries usually have both indoor and outdoor plants, check around.
The toughest ones I have had are Syngonium varieties (have lovely leaves, and Sansevieria varieties (succulent type, usually grown outside, does well inside, don't over water.)
Some ferns.
I've found the most successful way to grow indoor plants is to use 'water well" pots you don't have to worry about under or over watering.

All excellent answers so far. Another plant you might look into is a Peace Lily. For some blooming color you might want to bring in an african violet. When it stops flowering, bring it home and replace it with a flowering one at work. A grow light might also help you out with your plants at work in a low light place.

I also work in a cubicle with no window and I have a lucky bamboo plant someone gave me for Christmas... I've had it for 3 months now and it looks the same as the day i got it... with no care at all, just add water.

Insecticidal cleansing soap is beneficial for killing aphids and is far less poisonous than classic pesticides so some distance as people are in contact. you will detect it at any backyard center. that is sweet to to take the plant exterior or set it in a sink once you spray it on account which you're able to desire to spray it until eventually the cleansing soap is dripping off the leaves. or you could kill the aphids by ability of hand. I take a Kleenex and gently overwhelm them with it. Aphids are gentle bodied and are certainly killed this way.

If you have floresant lighting it is kinda like a grow lite but the plant will soon begin to wilt so your best bet is to get a grow light bulb or as a final option get a fake one

If you have low light, I would try pothos, nephytis (elephant ear), or philodendron. If you have no natural light, I would go with a vase of lucky bamboo. It will thrive without much care at all, and most importantly without natural light!

I would use a silk arrangement. Change it with the seasons.
