What to look out for the correct selection of the plant
Choosing the right plant, you need to consider the area and the conditions in which it will be placed. For example, if the space is in low light, choose plants that can withstand such conditions. Regardless of the occasion, it's important to choose a plant that fits the occasion and give it with care and kindness. Plants if properly cared for can have a long lifespan offering positive emotions and beauty to the recipient's space.
How many plants do you need to feel the benefits? There is no set number for how many plants you should have in your office. If you ask us, don't let plants distract you and take over your workspace. Two to three is enough for most office spaces, but feel free to add more if you have room.
Which plants to choose for a professional space
The best plants for a workplace are:
Pachira
Place the pachira (money tree) on your desk and attract a raise or promotion. This tiny tree is easy to care for and needs relatively little water during the winter months and more watering in the summer. It grows best in a bright place, where the direct rays of the sun do not hit, but due to its great adaptability, it can also grow in a place with lower lighting.
Bromeliads
Add color to your desk with a blooming tropical plant. Make sure you place it near a window for more growth potential.
Philodendron
Classic plant that loves low light and is easy to propagate. Place it high on a shelf and let the leaves decorate the wall or cabinets.
Lust
Add a touch of freshness to your office with a passion plant. Its vibrant yellow-green leaves require little sun and little water to thrive, so just sit back and watch it grow.
Aloe
Known for its soothing properties, aloe will add a refreshing touch to busy days. It doesn't need special care, but you should watch out for excessive watering because it can cause root rot and destroy our plant.
Zamia
Zamia can thrive in moderate to bright light conditions while also tolerating partial shade. However, avoid direct sunlight. Also this plant does not like moisture and is particularly drought resistant, and like a cactus, you don't have to worry about watering them all the time.
Sansevieria
This plant can survive in an office with low light levels and minimal water. But be careful: If you have pets do not choose it as it is toxic for pets.
Succulents
A succulent can actually store water in its thick leaves. Therefore, the plant could not be easier to care for and does not require constant watering. It's great if you just want to have something nice to look at on your desk!
Bamboo
This "lucky" plant needs very little light, so it's perfect for indoors. It will also give your workplace the necessary Feng Shui energy. It likes to be on the windowsill and only needs a little water and a little sun.
Spathiphyllum
It loves water a lot and makes sure its soil is well drained. Do not forget to spray its leaves regularly. Prefers strong filtered natural light and will tolerate low light conditions, but flowering may be reduced.
Bonsai
Depending on the type of bonsai, the growing conditions differ. Most bonsai love direct sunlight, but there are also bonsai ideal for places that don't get much light. In general, your plant should be watered as soon as the surface of the soil is dry. In the summer months, water may be needed twice a day.
Areca
Areca does not like very low temperatures and cold air currents as they will damage its foliage. It prefers a humid atmosphere, so it is good to spray its foliage with water. It is a plant that does not need a lot of water. During the winter months we dilute the watering.
Dracaena
It thrives in areas with light that does not directly hit it with sunlight. However, as it is a resistant plant, it can also survive in places with less light. Before we water the dracaena, we check that its soil has dried and then we water our plant.
