Succulents, be it Echeveria or Haworthia, can also be kept and grown in small spaces. Be it the corner of a study table or right in between a work desk, they grow slowly, need minimal maintenance, and have to be watered only in intervals.

In small spaces, Pothos can be grown in two ways. You can either trail the plants around the work desk or the wall behind it, or you can keep the plant in a tumbler filled with water.

When keeping an indoor plant on the work desk or study table, go for the ZZ only if you have space for it to grow upwards. ZZ plant also has beautiful leaves with a dark green tint, and is best to grow in a limited space.

Snake plant leaves grow really tall, but if you buy a mini variety, they would look nice and aesthetic on the work or study desk. These too do not need excess care so they won’t wilt or dry if you forget to water them.
