Often associated with aesthetic concerns, indoor plants play an important role in decorating spaces and the well-being of employees. Let’s look at the power of indoor plants at work.
Why have plants in the office?
Health benefits
Indoor plants have a positive impact on our health, especially live plants as they purify the air just by being present. They capture CO2 and transform it into oxygen: the air becomes more pleasant and dust particles are neutralized.
A green environment conducive to productivity
In a closed environment dominated by artificial lighting, indoor plants have an impact on the well-being of employees. Indeed, they help to bring freshness and a touch of green. It is also the ideal solution to combat stress and headaches. They create a reassuring and relaxing atmosphere, which further enhances concentration and allows for better productivity. Employees feel confident and become more creative.
Noise remains a major problem for companies. Installing indoor plants is an asset as they help to define the space. By define, we mean that they separate the common area into several zones that gain intimacy. Performance, concentration, and personal growth are now possible.
Plants improve the image
Indoor plants are a way to create a warm atmosphere for employees, but also for visitors. At the reception, in the hallways, or in meeting places, plants make a nice impression. It’s an opportunity to improve the company’s image by highlighting a natural, authentic, and committed dimension. Plants meet a wide range of needs in terms of corporate values. They convey a message, resonate with healthy products, or project a high-end image.
What type of plants to choose for the office?
At Végétal Tendance, we offer you three types of plants: artificial, stabilized, or live. It’s up to you to make your choice.
The live plant
The live plant has many benefits: it regulates the temperature and humidity of the air, which it helps to purify. It creates a calming atmosphere in spaces. The Végétal Tendance team installs live plants using the hydroponic method. This involves cultivating them in a pot with clay balls soaked in a nutrient-rich hydraulic solution. The roots of the plants can absorb the water they need, which allows for less frequent watering (once a month). Here are several species suitable for indoors.
Philodendron scandens and Pothos
Do you want to dress up shelves or a partition? Opt for the Philodendronscandens or the Pothos. These indoor plants, easy to maintain, are distinguished by their numerous heart-shaped trailing leaves. A shower of green leaves that gives a little jungle feel to your office.
The ficus
The ficus is a large indoor plant ideal for dressing your reception area. Beautiful and radiant, it has lovely leaves that create an elegant look. Benjamina, elastica, lyrata… Several species of ficus are available and offer varied foliage.
The dracaena
A touch of exoticism in the office is possible. Bet on the dracaena, which will bring a bit of intimacy to an open space (it can grow up to 2 meters tall). In addition to tolerating full sun or shade, this green plant plays a role in reducing waves present near computers.
The kentia
Easy to maintain, this potted plant does not require strong lighting. Belonging to the palm family, the kentia is an impressive plant with air-purifying properties. Indeed, it helps to purify the air in offices.
The stabilized plant
What better way to personalize your office than with a stabilized plant? Its sap has been replaced by vegetable glycerin. This process effectively freezes the plant in time while retaining its aesthetic qualities. No effort is needed for an optimal result that guarantees flexibility and freshness. No green thumb is required for a beautiful green space.
The papyrus
Often in open spaces, there are no separations, which becomes problematic due to excessive noise. Végétal Tendance has the solution to help you: a planter made of papyrus and ivy to separate the common area from the workspace. The papyrus has a very graphic silhouette with its upright and cut leaves. Easily movable, this type of green separation adapts to the rhythm of your projects and your company life.
The indoor palm
Originating from tropical areas, the palm has managed to establish itself in our interiors. This plant brings a beautiful density of greenery with its fluffy foliage, ideal for dressing a corner or a passageway. Our stabilized palms replicate the elegance and exoticism of a traditional palm.
The eucalyptus
In a vase or pot, eucalyptus is the plant that changes the ambiance of your interior. This large plant with leaves that are sometimes thin and elongated, sometimes round brings a certain structure to the environment with its presence. Combined with other plants, it adds beautiful shades with its gray-blue foliage.
The bonsai
Typically in a small pot, the bonsai comes in several formats. Originating from the Asian continent, this plant suggests a calming and gentle atmosphere. What better way to work in complete zen.
The artificial plant
Artificial plants are a way to bring a touch of green to your workspace without the maintenance constraints. Much more than a decorative plant, they create a pleasant atmosphere that is appealing.
The orchids
Orchids are known for bringing a touch of color and softness to the office. At Végétal Tendance, we have opted for artificial orchids that offer a very realistic appearance. These orchids have been carefully selected by our team for their leaves with a soft touch made from quality materials that resemble the natural texture of the leaf. These stabilized orchids ensure you have a modern and chic decoration.
Cactus
If there is one trendy plant in offices, it is the cactus. This high-end artificial plant from South American countries creates a refreshing atmosphere in your interior. All our cacti do not prick and have been designed to withstand the test of time.
The bamboo
Enjoy a zen touch on your terrace with artificial bamboo. Its realistic foliage gives volume to the plant, allowing you to obscure the view with your neighbors. It’s an opportunity to achieve a green corner with no effort or maintenance.
Aloe vera
Originating from Southern Africa, this succulent plant is essential for decorating your office. This rosette of leaves gives a certain graphic style. These mini plants do not require bright light and find their place on desks and shelves.
