The truth is, studies that show that having plants or flowers in the office space, even a small home-office can have a positive impact on your physical and some say even mental health.
We love 1-800-Flowers for our home-office deliveries of fresh flowers and have even purchased a few plants. Our top selection was Bamboo and it grows fast!! It can clean your air and add a touch of modern to any office.
Bamboo
We love using bamboo around the office due to the calming effects it has on workspaces. Not to mention, bamboo is also known to clean the air, which is another added bonus for your health! These bamboo plants are the perfect size for that space on your desk that appears to be rather empty, and in addition to the health benefits you experience, you may even find that one brings you a bit of good luck throughout your work day too.
Bonsai
Indoor bonsai will need some sun in the morning, so if your office has south or west-facing windows, these are an excellent choice to place on the window sill. Maintenance is on the simpler side for indoor bonsai, as they tend to respond best when being watered every two or three days rather than every day.
Cactus
This cactus dish garden is perfect for the office, especially due to its size. You can place one of these just about anywhere, but we recommend using one for your desk if your individual workspace could use some enhancements – just be strategic about where you put it so that no one who comes to visit you gets stuck by it!
Gerbera Daisy
Gerbera daisies, which are a flowering plant, are helpful for filtering toxins, and we’re sure you can agree that you don’t want any floating around in the air you breathe all day long! Additionally, gerbera daisies are known to deliver happiness and cheer, which is definitely something worth spreading around the office – our lucky gerbera daisy is one of our favorites.
Orchids
Orchids prefer filtered light rather than direct sun, so these are perfect for spaces that are out of the way of the sun’s rays – we suggest using these to brighten up a corner of your office that’s a bit darker than the rest of your work space. They also only require watering about once or twice a week, so maintenance won’t be too difficult!
Don’t have a lot of space? Check out these really cool wall-mounted options that can dress up any office, waiting room or area.
