my office building has one way glass. the reception area is basically one big room with this stuff covering the entire area. the space has a lot of potential but nothing has been done. being the receptionist and staring all day... it is a little depressing. the fake plants are ugly and my poor plants are all cramped up in my little office at home since its too cold to keep them outside. i have a couple rubber trees, a few wondering jews and a pony tail palm. what i am wondering is if i move some of them to my office building, will they get enough light through the one way glass? i understand that light comes through the windows when it is daylight, ive seen it :) i just dont know if it is the right amount for my plants...

thanks in advance for any help!!! :)

These coatings come in a variety of densities and hues with some of the darker types, creating a "one-way-mirror" effect during daylight times - transparent from the inside looking out, reflective from the outside looking in.

I've used reflective glass with various lighter tints in overhead applications - when designing architectural sunspaces intended for passive enjoyment by humans and plants. In these applications, a reduction of glare and transmission of solar heat is welcome. The vertical glass panes typically remains untinted.

The tinted glass in your office will obviously filter some natural light beneficial to indoor plants. But as far as I know, this will have little effect on most plants ability to thrive. I think your rubber plant, palm and wandering Jew should do just fine - considering they can grow in medium light conditions anyway.
