Numerous scientific studies have proven that adding greenery in the office comes with major benefits for employees and the organization as a whole. The same is true for remote or home-based workers.

 

Benefits can include:

• Reduced stress
• Increased productivity
• Reduced absence and sickness rates
• Cleaner indoor air
• Reduced noise levels
• Boost creativity

 

On top of these, plants make a work space more attractive to job applicants, based on a comment by organizational psychological professor Sir Cary Cooper on the 2015 Human Species report.

 

This goes to show the value that an office plant service brings to an organization, especially those that need help in identifying the type of plants that can boost office productivity and help employees stay more focused.

 

Best Plants for Increased Workplace Productivity

 

Desk plants

Cacti, air plants, jade plants, spider plants, and Aloe Vera are just some of the plants that will thrive on your desk. If you don’t have time to water plants, snake plants are a great idea. If you want something more challenging to grow and maintain, a bonsai is a good choice.

 

Indoor hanging plants

When floor space is limited or too valuable to give up, you can hang plants instead. Place them in low-traffic areas and above medium-height furniture. You’ll never go wrong with Neon Pothos in a basket or pot. It will thrive in areas with medium to low-light levels and only needs to be watered weekly.

 

Low light plants

Not all areas in the office have access to natural light. Under the circumstances, adding low-light office plants is a perfect solution. The snake plant is just what you need. It is one of the best indoor low-light and low-maintenance plants. You only need to water it once a month.

 

What is great about snake plants is that they convert carbon dioxide to oxygen overnight and can absorb variety of harmful chemicals.

 

Beautiful indoor plants

Office plants don’t always have to be a practical choice. You can also choose office plants that will grow to be an attractive feature. The rubber tree plant, for example, would grow to have broad flat leaves in greens and purples.

 

Tillandsia and other air plants on the other hand adds beauty to any room without the need for soil and frequent watering. In fact you only need to spray water in them a few times a month and you’re done.

 

Low-maintenance indoor plants

If you think you’re too busy to care for plants, an office plant service would have the right solution for you—low-maintenance indoor plants.

 

Peace Lily and the ZZ plant come highly recommended. The former can endure cold and dry environments, while the latter can withstand huge amount of abuse and needs very little water. Suffice it to say that it is the hardy office plant for the hardworking, busy, and forgetful employees.

 

Hire a Professional Office Plant Service 

Whether you choose hardy or low-maintenance plants for your office, it will work to your advantage to hire professionals to take care of them. An office plant service will provide, care, and replace plants so you can simply enjoy the benefits without the hassle.
