Are there any CPs suitable for a bright office environment?

Hi,

I successfully grow a Sansevieria trifasciata on my office desk. It's a brightly lit office with a four tube 4ft flourescent fitting directly above my desk. Are there any CPs that would be suitable for growing in such an office environment? Whilst bright, I guess that to a plant it would be low light, so I'd be looking for a 'low light' species.

Thanks,

Carl
 
Pinguicula: Moranensis, Agnata, Moctazumae(?), Primuiflora
Drosera: Adelae, Aliciae, Spatulata, potentially Capensis "alba"
Nepenthes: Ampullaria, Ventrata, Ventricosa, Khanisana
Cephalotus (but may need a humidity dome)

Thanks... I have a few of the suggested plants so might give one of them a try. Ampullaria would do no good though, as the humidity is far too low. Cephalotus don't need increased humidity.
 
Depending on your office, in addition to the low light & humidity, many buildings turn the lights off on weekends. Five days of light & two without doesn't make for happy growing ....
 
I tried growing vfts and capensis under lights in my office, they didn't grow well. I had the light on a timer so they got plenty of light, even on weekends. Must be a humidity issue.
