There’s no good reason to keep plants out of the office! They improve your mood, productivity, and air quality. Here are some of the best plants to try out in your office or at your desk!
A versatile plant that is hardy enough to survive varied light, water, and temperature conditions. They thrive in partial sun and shade so windowless or not you can have a green companion. Just pop it in a pot with sufficient drainage and give it a little water once you see it’s soil is dry. These do look best in hanging pots but they can sit on a desk. They come in a lot of different sizes so no matter your office’s size you’ll find the right fit.
A nice sturdy plant, if you can find a small one it can work for any desk. It stands straight upright so it won’t be growing all over your papers but will still provide plenty of beautiful greenery. This can handle some drought as well so it is a great fit for people who aren’t the best at remembering to keep things watered.
A great plant for office, home, bathroom, anywhere! It’s very forgiving with light conditions and won’t get upset if you forget to water it once in awhile. It will grow full and long but don’t worry too much about the roots because it likes to be a little rootbound. These are a great plant because of the variety of verigations and because they are great air cleaners.
A tropical plant that has gotten used to trees stealing all of the sunlight, this plant is perfectly adapted to the shade. They like water so keep them moist, especially if you want to keep them flowering! The flowers bring cheer in the heart of winter and they are one of the best plants for cleaning toxins from the air.
Low and medium light works just fine for some bamboo, but the best part is that it can happily grow in water. No soil to check, just make sure you swap out the water every once in a while and keep it filled up.
