“I grow plants for many reasons: to
please my eye or to please my soul…
but mostly for the joy in seeing them
grows.”
Upgrade With a Plant
Offices are stifling places; there are unnatural florescent
lights, tightly packed cubicles, drab, stark decor and all
around its kind of a blah place to be.
So get a plant!
. Depending on the amount of space
you have, and how inspired you
want to be, different plants will
offer different functions. From
easy to take care of plants, to
plants that are great
conversation pieces to ones
that can actually filter the air
around your cubicle there is no
shortage of options. Just remember
two very important (overlooked) points when you are
choosing your new plants
Plants that produce pollen and smell good may
cause allergic reaction in some of your co-
workers. So it is best to avoid these types of
plants and stick only with those types which will
sit well with others.
If you are in an office with little or no natural
sunlight… Don’t buy a plant that needs an
abundance of light. Sounds simple, but you’d be
surprised.
To help you along I did some research and found a few
plants that would be great for the office. They are all easy
to care for, provide great color and will help filter your
work environment.

The cactus is easy to take care
of. It requires little water
and comes in a variety of
colors and sizes. You can
get a variety of them and
create garden. Just be careful
where you put them; they poke.
Lucky Bamboo requires very little light.
In fact it prefers to be kept out of the
direct sun-light. It can be planted in
soil or a soil-less mixture or even in a
simple vase of water with marbles or
pebbles at the bottom where the roots to
bind. Always keep it well watered, one
to two inches above the roots.
Sansevieria plants are very easy to take care
of and grow well in low light. There are a
few different variations of the plant the
Laurentii being the heartiest. It needs to
be lightly watered only when dry. Like
most plants the size of the pot will
determine the size it will grow to.
The ZZ plant fits just about every need of
what a new indoor plant introduction
should be. Handles low light, low water
use, tough under indoor conditions,
handles neglect well
