Our Office Plant Guide: Creating Your Own Personal Greenhouse!

Your business's atmosphere has the power to promote productivity or inhibit it. If your productivity is lacking or your office space needs a little boost of happiness, create an office greenhouse!

Office plants will produce fresh air but also create a fresh atmosphere for your business. If your office space is lacking in plants, it may be time to rethink your design. 

Whether you're choosing plants for their aesthetic appeal, purposeful design, or stress-reducing properties, there's an office plant and a use for every business. Take a look at how your office can incorporate and benefit from some new office plants below! 

Choosing Your Plants

The right plants can make the perfect first impression for visitors to your business or office. Make a statement with beautiful Birds of Paradise or a fun fiddle leaf fig. Office plants do more than add greenery to the monotonous facade of office life. Choose plants that create a lasting impact on those in your space!

Whether your business has an abundance of bright natural light, an outdoor patio, or a few choice windows, there's a perfect plant for every space. Here are a few staples we like to incorporate into our signature plantscapes:

Snake Plant

Also known as Sansevieria, snake plants are hardy plants that are ideal for the workplace. They can add a vertical design element and a modern aesthetic charm to your business front.

There are many snake plant varieties, so let our plant experts choose the perfect one for your office space! Our team makes design choices based on the lighting and space available to you. Schedule your no-obligation consultation to see what design choices our plant stylists will make for you!

Pothos

Possibly one of the easiest and fastest-growing office plants, pothos are always a good option for greenhouse starters. Like snake plants, they come in many varieties; but, these grow like vines. They will continuously grow outwards to create a fascinating design effect if directed the right way.

While one or two are pretty, incorporate more into a wall installation or moveable support. You can build a beautiful organic structure or draw interest to a blank wall.

For busy offices or lobbies, pothos is also favorable because they help remove toxins from the air. There are various carcinogens in the air we breathe every day. Yet, plants like pothos can rid these from your atmosphere through natural processes. 

Bird of Paradise

Birds of paradise have large deep green leaves and stems that can grow as tall as 6 to 8 feet in the right potting conditions. Their richly colored leaves fan out to widths of about 3 to 4 feet, and when they bloom, they produce colorful bright orange, yellow, blue, and red bulbs.

If you're looking for a touch of the tropics or want a plant with wide welcoming leaves, birds of paradise are an eye-catching choice. Our Green Space design consultations also include prioritizing the planters and planter filling that goes into each plant we provide you. 

Don't let a large plant scare you; our professional team of gardeners and designers will recommend and choose the best planters for whatever plant options you decide on, even the large and luscious bird of paradise.

Fiddle Leaf Fig

The abstract leaves and soft curves make the fiddle leaf fig tree a sight for any space. The fiddle leaf fig is perfectly imperfect with bright, glossy leaves and dark hardy stems. 

Though it has gained popularity in recent years, the fiddle leaf fig has become somewhat infamous for its finicky preferences. You can enjoy the beauty of the fiddle leaf fig without the daily care commitment when you use our scheduled maintenance services!

Whether you already have plants you need us to revive, are purchasing plants you'd like to schedule regular care for or take part in our plant rental services, our professional gardeners provide top-tier care for all your business's plants. 

Where To Put Them

Where you place the plants is largely dependent on what the plant needs and what you want to use it for. But office plants do so much more than provide a pleasant view! Aside from improving the quality of your circulated air (which we need now more than ever), office plants can also improve your office's design.

You can intermittently place them six feet apart to remind employees about COVID-19 guidelines or provide physical barriers. Or use them to line cubicles as a privacy barrier. As a design element, plants can add vertical or horizontal characteristics that draw the eye to marketing materials or even signage. 

Plants around the office frame space, create distinct areas, and add interest to dull walls and hard edges. They provide office spaces with more welcoming air and soften the harsh angles of modern buildings.  

Our staff helps you decide where each plant will go in a plant design plan. If you're not up for their daily care, our plant maintenance teams are also available to help keep your plants growing and thriving through everyday office life!

How Many?

As many as you want! Our team will work with your budget and vision to determine how many plants will look best and thrive in the space you have. Choose many of the same plant or a cool combination for a customizable greenhouse look! 

Though, we're quite confident that the more plants your office has, the better your air quality and happier your employees will be! Studies have shown that they increase workplace productivity and reduce stress. This means happier employees and more work completed for you!

Not interested in taking on the responsibility of dozens of new office plants? We also offer indoor plant rentals for busy businesses who would rather let us handle the plant care. With a specific gardener provided for your office, they'll get to know your plants and individual office needs. You can expect professional care and minimally disruptive plant maintenance from Green Space.
