Benefits of Office Plants
Office plants do more than just look pretty. Although greenery can add to the atmosphere of an office there are physical benefits to plants. Plants can reduce fatigue, headache, coughing and irritation of the eyes by up to 30% not to mention stress reductions among employees.
Office plants provide oxygen into an environment and scrub toxins from the air. They reduce noise levels, allowing people to work more effectively and efficiently. For those reasons alone, staff absence is reduced and therefore plants offer a great return on your investment.
Here is a list of some of the best plants to enhance your working environment….
Ficus Alii:
This Ficus is rapidly growing in popularity due to its slender dark foliage which makes it a pleasant looking plant. It is less fussy than the usual Ficus benjamina and grows well in well-lit areas. As with all ficus it has some leaf drop but other than that it is a robust plant.
Dracaena Janet Craig:
These plants can tolerate areas with low light levels and are the best plant for removing trichloroethylene. Its dark green foliage and dark green stem make it a unique looking plant.

The Marginata has beautiful long green narrow foliage on a slim stem. It is architectural in stature and fits into the smallest of spaces.
