Need suggestions for an office plant
So I have this huge new office (poor me, right?) but it's super empty looking.
I want to get a plant or two, but I have somewhat of a black thumb.
Can anyone give me suggestions on plants that can survive the office? Nothing too expensive 
I'm looking to Carnation especially here!

Spathiphyllum (peace lily) or sanseveria (mother-in-law's tongue)!

I can't even keep real plants in my home nonetheless my office. I managed to kill my bonzai tree and those things need hardly any care.

Do you have a window in your office? Try an African violet. They like about the same conditions humans do: not too cold, not too hot, not too wet. If you don't have a window, they'll grow under fluorescent lights!
Besides, they're lovely plants.

Get some goodluck Bamboo or whatever it is they call it. I've named my plant "the gladiator" because he simply wont die.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll have to look into them.
I have 2 HUGE windows, and we're on the 36th floor with no buildings blocking us, so I get a ton of light pretty much all day.
Another dumb question, would I want to go to a nursery or something to get it, or can you get okay ones at like Walmart?  Yes, i'm pretty much plant-retarded.

I got my office plant at Target... it was pretty cheap.
I have a baby arelco (??) palm because I misread the label and thought it said "leaves grow 4-6" when actually the whole thing grows 4-6 feet!
I should have gotten a cacti... but a lot of coworkers had bamboo plants.

An aloe plant is also a good bet, they're almost impossible to kill and don't need water that often.

I like spider plants b/c they are supposed to suck up negative energy associated with computers. Or at least thats what I was told.

I am surprised no mentioned Ivy. Hard to kill and likes sunlight or shade. Needs minimal care.
