What a good question, I'd like to know too, except please include
plants that are given SOME care by the owners.  At first guess, I'd say
a Sansavierra (sp?) would survive, since they seem to be able to survive
anything, but they are really ugly.  Cacti would surely rot from the
humidity and lack of light.  Is anyone keeping a fern (what type?)
alive in these conditions?  Maybe a wandering jew?  (P.S. maybe paint
the walls, at least.)
