Indoor Plant Health Benefits

Office & indoor plants have many other benefits apart from their obvious aesthetic appeal. As well as being pleasing to the eye they also bring real health benefits. Office plants have been shown to improve air quality, office morale & productivity.

Clean Air

With our ever growing desire to be sustainable buildings are being built to be energy saving spaces. Unfortunately buildings also tend to retain indoor toxins that are omitted by everyday things in the office such as computers, paint & upholstery

Office & indoor plants remove a lot of these toxins from the air whilst providing a pleasing atmosphere for the employees. From one desktop plant per desk to a lush atrium, studies show the benefit of office plants are significant to improving employee well-being, reduced stress levels & increased productivity.

Indoor plants topping the list for clean air are:

• Bamboo Palm
• Aglaonema
• Dracaena Janet Craig
• Dracaena Marginata
• Dracaena Happy Plant
• Spathiphyllum ‘Peace Lily’
• Sansevieria
• Pothos

Employee Wellbeing

In addition to cleaning indoor air, plants have also been shown to make people feel calmer & more optimistic. They also reduce fatigue, coughs, sore thoughts & other cold related illnesses, therefore saving the employer money on employee sick leave. Major corporations are starting to realise that indoor plants do wonders for employee health & morale.

With benefits like these who can deny that green truly is better!
