If you’re working full time, chances are you haven’t had time to develop a green thumb. The last time that you owned a plant was probably in the first grade when you grew a milkweed plant in a plastic cup to learn about photosynthesis. However, it is officially National Plants at Work Week and this could be the perfect opportunity to branch out into plant ownership.
Of course, you’re not alone in this endeavor. The Leafscape Green Team can help with anything and everything you might run into this week. Whether you want to rent plants in Little Rock for the entire office or revitalize a plant that needs some help in Hot Springs, we’re here for you!
This week is a celebration of the great things plants contribute to our lives. You probably learned about how they help us breathe in your first grade photosynthesis lesson. There are many more reasons that plants give more than they take.
Plants are more than just eco-friendly decoration. They also provide psychological comfort in the workplace. Being able to see plants during a workday can make you feel less stressed. They can also make you be more productive and comfortable in your environment due to a slight increase in humidity.
The best part about National Plants at Work Week is that you can start small and grow. By just bringing a few plants into the workplace, you could see a vast difference in your team. Leafscape’ Green Team can help the adventure be as stress-free as possible.
Here are a few plants and facts about them to help you decide where to start:
Succulents
Succulents have been trending lately on social media outlets such as Instagram and Pinterest. Since they are small in size, they can fit well on a desk. They also look cool and are the perfect starter plants while you are building your confidence to get larger office plants for your team.
Sanseveria (or Snake Plants)
When you see one, you won’t miss it. Its defined structure keeps you interested and truly adds to a room. This plant is the perfect medium-sized decoration to add interest to a lobby area or meeting room. You can purchase the snake plant when it’s small and watch it grow to up to four feet tall. With this plant, the office is sure to feel brighter and well-decorated.
Ficus Rubra (or Rubber Trees)
You have probably seen these plants in an office or conference room – their sturdy and rich-colored leaves certainly make a statement. The best thing about these plants is that they can thrive in medium to bright light and a temperature range from 60 to 80 degrees. So whether your office team cranks it up or makes it a borderline icebox, you won’t have to worry about these impressive plants.
Maybe plants are something you’d like to keep around the office but you don’t have time to keep up with maintenance. That’s where we come in – at Leafscape we’ll handle all plant maintenance for your office. They may also be the solution to add liveliness in offices with neutral-colored walls and carpets.
