Interesting/colorful/iridescent plant recs for this light situation?

Hello!

I've got these plants currently, in an office with an LED light that's about 24in above the desktop, or about 12-18 inches above the plants (depending on the plant). I have a little mister for humidity.

I'd like to add maybe a spider plant (had great success with those in the past no matter what light they got???) and maybe one or two more, and wanted to see what recommendations y'all might have (I know pothos is a big one). I'm specifically looking for something with colorful or irridescent leaves. I see some great begonias and Persian shields and wonder if the light is good for them. I know some say those are both easy plants but I had a bad experience with Persian shield previously.

What would you consider this light? I can't imagine it's comparable to the sun at all so I'm guessing bright Indirect with how close it is to the plants?

I loooove and I've only had succulents before, with the exception of spider plants and a tradescantia, that I had to give away before moving. I don't know if succs would like this light so I'm holding off on those for the office.

Thanks!

Plumosa fern - is it possible to encourage more bushy growth rather than just tall?

Hello! Recently got a pot for this guy. While I'm repotting I may try to split it- I want to encourage it to be more bushy. I have been reading a bit about how to encourage bushiness and it seems I could either separate it at the root so the base is wider and hope it fills in, and/or prune.

Just wanted to see if any of you had success with this or generally getting them to grow more bushy than tall. This one sits directly under a bright fluorescent light at work (less than 12 inches above the plant, maybe 8).

If you've pruned one of these, how would you recommend going about it?

Thanks!

They've become good friends

Back in August, a stray cat (black and white) came across our path and after a few mornings she began to follow us everywhere and wait outside the door or in the patio for us to come out all day and night. After a vet trip we took her in and she's integrated well with the two boys we had. One of them has become excellent friends with her 💙
