Living plants are an essential element of interior decoration today. Sometimes flowery or with tropical foliage, they create a real indoor garden. This natural touch improves the feeling of well-being in the office or at home.
Why install green plants?
In addition to bringing a touch of aesthetics, green plants clean up spaces. On a daily basis, we are confronted with internal and external sources of pollution. Plants, known for their depolluting properties, will have a positive effect on health. They will regulate the ambient temperature as well as the humidity level. Through their roots, they will capture gases and redistribute them into oxygen. The result: fresh and healthy interiors.
Installing plants indoors is the best way to convey a natural and positive image of the company. Live plants attract the attention of visitors and employees, especially when they are in large numbers (on a green wall) or in an atypical setting (painting or plant logo). It is also an opportunity for the entity to communicate on its committed values. Live plants act directly on the well-being of employees since they reduce stress. According to one study, the insertion of plants in a work environment would lead to a 37% reduction in tension and stress. A workspace with green plants also has an influence on the quality of work because employees are more creative and productive.
Mixing business with pleasure is now possible with living plants: they will help reduce noise pollution. For example, a green wall can stifle sound waves unlike a classic wall which sends them back.
Where should live plants be placed?
On a shelf, in a waiting room, on the corner of the office, green plants adapt to any surface. By their number or their shape, they manage to create unique and soothing atmospheres. The location of live plants can vary: close to a light source for some or in the shade for others, it depends on the species.
How to maintain green plants?
Who says live plant, says maintenance. Watering, adding fertilizer, spraying, are repetitive and painful tasks. At Végétal Tendance, we offer maintenance contracts so that we have nothing to think about. Our live plants are grown in hydroculture which greatly facilitates maintenance by spacing out the waterings.
