Monstera

Monstera

Perhaps you know this plant by one of its other names, but whether you call it Monstera Deliciosa, the Swiss Cheese Plant or Split-Leaf Philodendron – it makes a brilliant office plant all the same.

This leafy plant is excellent for open offices due to its air-purifying properties. It can also reduce humidity thanks to its shady leaves which can make a real difference in a busy or crowded office.

Howea Forsteriana

Howea Forsteriana

The Howea Forsteriana or Kentia Palm is a slow-growing cousin of the Palm Tree, eventually growing up to 10m tall by 6m wide.

This Palm works well in the office thanks to its ability to tolerate some neglect, cooler temperatures and dry air conditions like air conditioning. No time to maintain the office plants? Give us a call. Your displays will be tended to with regular visits by discreet but fully trained members of the Fleurtations team. We’ll ensure that you enjoy your displays at their optimum level, without the worry of regular cleaning, watering, feeding, pruning or pest and disease control.

Living Wall

Living Wall

While it’s not one specific plant, a well-designed living wall installation is the perfect office addition thanks to its noise-reducing properties (is anyone else having trouble adjusting back to a noisy office?) When many dense plants are huddled together, they are excellent at reducing and dampening the noise you find working in an open-plan office.

Not only are the biophilic hugely beneficial, you can read all about living walls here, but they’re also very visually appealing too!

Epipremnum Aureum

Epipremnum Aureum

Sometimes known as Devil’s Ivy or Golden Pothos, this is a great plant for reducing humidity in the office. Requiring pretty full sun, the Pothos can be a fast-growing and rather tricky customer, but when well maintained, it’s a rather impressive addition to any shared working space.

All plants give us oxygen while removing carbon dioxide which cleans the air we breathe. Plants have even been shown to help with workplace performance. Office plants also improve your mood, helping us to feel happier in the workplace.

Chlorophytum Comosum

Chlorophytum Comosum

Spider Plants are fantastic at purifying the air around the office, which has way more benefits than you might think. Did you know that plants in the workplace can actually improve wellbeing? A Scandinavian study found that exposure to indoor plants improved feelings of well-being in participants compared to those who weren’t exposed to plants.
