I have always wanted to be a plant mom but sadly killed everything I have ever touched. Recently, however, I have been gifted an aloe bud that has yet to sprout roots, as well as a mini cactus that has been doing great !
I think it’s time to take the leap and officially purchase one.
I work inside an office that doesn’t get any sun, however I would be able to take the plant out for about 30-60 minutes a day in full sun.
PLEASE, help me find a plant that requires very low light. I did a little research on what might work but don’t want to accidentally kill one and mess it up.
I took a few pictures of some options that I thought were super cool and might survive in a lower light setting.

Since you seem to like succulents, try a snake plant! They do well in artificial office lighting
That spider plant is a great starter plant! I also recommend browsing plantclinic to see what the commenters recommend. It only took me like 6 months in that sub to start learning and in that time I was able to keep more and more plants alive for longer.
Literally cannot ever kill a Pothos and they grow like crazy.
Here’s my suggestion: 1-Dracaena Massangeana, good plant for an office. Did have one on my office for almost 5 years. 2- [ZZ Plant ](https://www.reddit.com/r/plants/comments/1k85wy2/bought_this_plant_for_my_wife_now_its_her/)(small one), I just bought one for my wife office.
Seconding the ZZ and Sansevieria suggestions. Succulents normally low maintenance but if you don’t get any sun at all then I wouldn’t recommend. ZZ actually thrives on neglect so it’ll do well even if you forget about it sometimes.
Do not place your office plants out in the sun 30 minutes a day. Just get plants (like one of several mentioned elsewhere in your thread) that tolerates low light that an office’s ambient lighting will provide.
