Living plants are now an essential element of interior decoration. Whether flowering or with tropical foliage, they create a true indoor garden. This natural touch enhances the feeling of well-being at the office or at home.
Why install green plants?
In addition to bringing an aesthetic touch, green plants purify the spaces. In our daily lives, we are faced with sources of internal and external pollution. Plants, known for their purifying virtues, will have a positive effect on health. They will regulate ambient temperature as well as the humidity level. Through their roots, they will capture gases and redistribute them as oxygen. The result: fresh and healthy interiors.
Installing indoor plants is the best way to convey a natural and positive image of the company. Living plants attract the attention of visitors and employees, especially when they are numerous (on a green wall) or in an atypical setting (plant picture or logo). It is also an opportunity for the entity to communicate its committed values.
Living plants directly affect the well-being of employees as they reduce stress. According to a study, the introduction of plants in a work environment would lead to a 37% reduction in tension and stress. A workspace arranged with green plants also influences the quality of work, as employees become more creative and productive.
Combining the useful with the pleasant is now possible with living plants: they will help in the reduction of noise pollution. For example, a green wall can muffle sound waves, unlike a traditional wall that reflects them.
Where to install living plants?
On a shelf, in a waiting room, on the corner of a desk, green plants adapt to all surfaces. Thanks to their number or shape, they manage to create unique and soothing atmospheres. The placement of living plants can vary: close to a light source for some or in the shade for others, depending on the species.
How to care for green plants?
Living plants require maintenance. Watering, fertilizing, misting are repetitive and tedious tasks. At Végétal Tendance, we offer maintenance contracts so you don’t have to think about it. Our living plants are grown in hydroponics, which greatly facilitates maintenance by spacing out watering.
