Office Greenery
THE INSIDE STORY
Have your plants settled into the office environment? Are they happy, well-adjusted members of your office team? Or are they out on a limb - wilting under pressure and unable to adjust to life on the inside?
We've all heard the horror stories. "Killed by neglect" "Starved to death" "The poor thing just died"
Everyday, shut away in an office somewhere, beautiful indoor plants are suffering. Lack of light, too much or too little watering, no food, air conditioning - all take their toll.
But it doesn't have to happen. Working with plants can be a beneficial experience. With careful choice and correct positioning, an indoor plant can add a touch of class to a foyer, brighten a dull corner, or soften the austerity of a large office. Some research studies have even suggested that working with plants may increase worker productivity!
No matter what your office environment, plants provide a breath of fresh air. Large companies and hotels often rent the indoor plants that decorate their foyers and liven up the workplace.
To keep the indoor plants in your office alive and well, make sure to get some basic directions from the nursery or store where you purchase them. As a general guide - never leave your office plants sitting in water. Try to keep their leaves clean. Feed them regularly and make sure they have enough light. If providing enough natural light is a problem there are growing lights available that work extremely well.
There is a large range of indoor plants available for you to choose from, see indoor plants, and finding plants to suit your particular office shouldn't be difficult.
Until Next Time
All the best and happy gardening
