How to attach an interior wall to just floor and plaster ceiling?

[Murphys]

I'm planning to partition off part of the bedroom for a "walk-in" closet. There are windows on both walls where the interior wall will stand, so we were thinking of keeping it open so you can walk behind the wall into the closet from both sides.

But is it possible to attach it only to the floor and plaster ceiling?

Thanks for the help!!

You need to find something sturdier in the ceiling. The plaster ceiling must be attached to something.

Yes, it's fine.
