Plants possess many positive properties, it would almost be a sin not to have plants in the office. A plant instantly brightens up an office, provides an improvement in air quality and also provides a sense of calm in any room. But out of the wide range of species and varieties, it can be quite difficult to choose plants that are exactly right for your business or office. That’s why we’ve listed some helpful features that can help you find the office plant that suits you best.
Plants prevent a lot of health problems
One of the main reasons to put a plant in the office is certainly the fact, that many plants have air-purifying properties. Harmful substances such as trichloroethylene, formaldehyde and benzene constantly circulate in the air, mostly caused by the multitude of electronic devices. A useful plant that therefore actually belongs on every desk is the cactus. Cacti not only purify the air, but also trap electromagnetic waves at the same time.
Do you suffer from slightly dry air in the office? Then the chamaedorea is an excellent plant to provide the air with higher humidity.
Offices with a lot of (background) noise, in turn, benefit from plants such as the weeping fig and the dragon’s blood tree, given their sound-dampening properties.
Which plants suit which characters?
Would you rather really pick plants that fit the character of your employees or spaces? Then we have some tips for you. After all, not everyone is born with a set of green fingers. Some employees will enjoy paying a lot of attention to plants and care, while others just won’t.
Employees who like to care
For employees who love plants, you can pick some challenging specimens. For example, consider the beautiful orchid, but azaleas and chrysanthemums will also delight these employees. These plants need a lot of attention and precision, as too much (or too little) light and water can be disastrous. You will get dazzlingly beautiful plants in return.
Employees who like to be a little rebellious
Do you have employees on your team who are always doing everything a little differently? And don’t have much with fixed structure? Then plants that are very easy to care for will do well with have. Think for example of the areca palm, the grass lily, ivy and ficus. These plants do not attach much value to a fixed structure and are already satisfied with water and light from time to time.
Employees who are adventurous
If you employ one or more employees who travel frequently, you will need to choose the most convenient plants for them. Plants that do not always require water and stay alive when they go without for a while. Again, you might consider a cactus, or a member of the succulent family.
