If you decide to install office plants, this automatically requires some maintenance. Fortunately, there are a lot of plants that require very little maintenance, which is ideal for the office. Watering and fertilizing every now and then is usually enough to enjoy these nice green additions. You can also choose to outsource the entire maintenance process, which basically takes all the worries out of your plants.
Do you still want to stay a little self-committed? Then observe the following five tips and your plants will stay beautifully beautiful.
1// Put office plants in a suitable place
Each plant has a specific preference for a particular spot. Some plants like lots of sunlight, others don’t at all and dry out in such conditions. There are also plants that like to have a little of both, called semi-shade. In addition to light, you should also consider temperature. Most plants thrive at an average room temperature. Just make sure they should not spend the night in a room that is too cold outside office hours. The exact details regarding each plant can easily be obtained during purchase.
2// Prune plants regularly if necessary
Many plants benefit from an annual pruning. After all, you yourself go to the barber every now and then, so why not provide your plants with the same service? Pruning results in plants growing and blooming better. In addition, you can keep them in good shape this way.
3// Read carefully how much water per season the office plant needs
Plants each require their own specific amount of water. If you give too little, the plant will soon dry out, resulting in dry and falling leaves. Too much water also has negative consequences, leaves can turn yellow to brown and start drooping. Also, the roots of a plant can rot with too much water. So always read the instructions for each plant carefully and adjust watering accordingly.
4// Do not give the office plant inappropriate refreshments
One activity that some employees consider fun is pouring a little coffee or tea into plants that are in the office on a structural basis. This may seem amusing, but for the plant it is absolutely not fun! Administering such inappropriate liquids can quickly cause the plants to become dull, discolored, droopy or even die. Ideally, treat plants with the same respect as humans and animals. In the end, plants do provide our daily much-needed amount of fresh air and oxygen, so a little gratitude is no luxury!
5// Don’t forget your office plants while on vacation
Are many employees going on vacation during a certain period? Or perhaps your office is even closed during a certain period? Then consider hiring someone to take care of your plants during this time. That way you won’t run the risk of coming back and finding withered or dead plants. That, of course, is a real shame.
