Finally a use for cubes

From: "hanson, skip" shanson at emc.com> on 2005.10.10 at 14:31:21(13419) All, When not playing in the greenhouse I am usually hovered over a keyboard in a cubicle. Since I prefer the greenhouse I started bringing many of my small aroids to work as an experiment. it turns out they are thriving way beyond my expectations. I figured it was the lighting and the constant temperature. I also noticed a nice little breeze as the result of the air circulators. Turns out they are shutting down the air conditioners at night and weekends so the temp slowly rises at these times. Not sure if any of you out there have tried this but I am now bringing many of my troubled plants to work and they seem to be recovering nicely. Just thought I would share. I will send pictures when my Alo. Robusta start reaching over the cube walls [:).

That is what they do in my office and it is somewhat chilly when I first get into the office on winter mornings.
