The health of office workers is influenced by many harmful factors that green friends will help to cope with. Therefore, the benefits of indoor plants in the office are obvious.

7 facts about the benefits of plants in the office

• Oxygen saturation
  In an office where dozens of people sit, there is a lot of carbon dioxide. This phenomenon is called "stuffiness". Plants absorb carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and release oxygen. Therefore, in rooms where there are many plants, the air is fresher.
• Air disinfection
  In crowded places, there is an increased concentration of bacteria and microbes in the air. Coniferous plants - juniper, rosemary - have bactericidal properties. Chlorophytum, indoor citrus fruits and laurel also cope with this task.
• Eye Health Benefits
  Computer work puts a lot of strain on your eyesight. "On green eyes rest" - says folk wisdom. Therefore, the proximity of plants to monitors is very useful.
• Humidity maintenance
  Air conditioners and central heating dry the air, and plants are able to moisten it. Caring for green friends involves frequent watering and spraying, which already improves the microclimate. In addition, plants additionally excrete excess moisture through the leaves. Thus, the humidity of the entire room is optimized.
• Protection against harmful substances
  Heavy metal salts, toxins, car exhausts penetrate from the street through the windows. These substances neutralize asparagus, dieffenbachia, ivy and philodendron.
• Antistess
  Many plants have a pleasant smell and have a calming effect. And stress at work is inevitable. Therefore, it is useful to have mint in a pot, oregano, basil or lemon balm on the windowsill. These same plants improve human brain activity, which makes them indispensable for a working person.
• Tobacco Filtration
  In places of general smoking, you can place pelargonium, aspidistra or clivia. But you need to place them in such a way that the pot does not become an ashtray. And, of course, from time to time to take out the plant on Fresh air for it to regain strength.

Criteria for choosing a plant for the office

• Don't forget that plants are living organisms , and office routine can kill them.
• You should not start capricious roses, orchids or gloxinia on the office table.
• It's not worth it to plant cacti . It is very difficult to ensure the cold wintering necessary for them under working conditions. And their ability to absorb harmful radiation from computers is just a myth.
• The office is spartan for the green brothers: not all plants will be able to survive the ten-day New Year holidays, uneven watering and vandalism of irresponsible staff, including pouring leftover tea into the pot.

10 best office plants - what flowers to choose for the office?

Where to place plants in the office?

• Large plants - for example, a palm tree or a large dieffenbachia - should be placed in the manager's office or in reception rooms. There they will look more organic.
• small potted plants more suitable for placement on the desktop, windowsill, as well as on the flower shelf.
• For good location pot with a plant, all factors must be taken into account. For example, being near a battery, a constantly opening door, an air conditioner that will constantly blow on a flower and drafts. After all, it is important that the plant pleases you as long as possible.
• Office phytodesign plays a significant role in determining the place. Flowers and evergreens should look organic in the interior. Oversaturation of the room with flowers turns the office into a greenhouse and creates a frivolous image of the organization.
• The absence or lack of plants in the office creates excessive severity. Such a room lacks the zest that is created by flower arrangements.

• Try to position yourself so that your boss's desk is behind you. Standing face to face is very dangerous. This is a direct road to conflicts and quarrels. When your boss is behind you, he becomes your rear.
• Sitting right in front of the door means daily receiving a powerful flow of energy (not always positive). Try to move the table at least half a meter to the side.
• According to Feng Shui, all corners and shelves in the office are sources of negative energy. They seem to stick a knife in the back if you sit in front of them. open shelves or the edges of the cabinets can be "smoothed out" a bit with the help of colors. Put a vase with a flower on an angular shelf, keep a vase with fresh cut flowers on the table.

Office workers spend a significant part of their lives in the workplace, which is not original, and often completely boring and dull. But there is a great way to turn a nondescript space into a pleasing to the eye, and these are fresh flowers. Of course, not every plant is suitable for this, and offices are different - somewhere there is more sunlight, somewhere artificial lighting prevails. Let's try to figure out how extra costs and the hassle of transforming your workspace.

What flowers to choose for the office

First, let's find out what requirements plants for the office should meet.

1. Attractive appearance at any time of the year - a plant that has shed its leaves will not decorate the room, but will make it even more boring.
2. The absence of a pronounced aroma will save workers from headaches and allergies.
3. Unpretentiousness in care - oh, this is the authorities, they are trying in every possible way to overwhelm the worker with deeds, so there is not always enough time for a whimsical plant.

This elegant and bright flower- poinsettia - certainly attracts the eye, but it is not suitable for the office - it requires too special care

And now let's look at a few examples that will help, given the features of the office, to make the right choice among unpretentious colors.

shade tolerant flowers

• Aspidistra. Very unpretentious, long-lasting and shade-resistant flower. The leaves are long-petiolate, collected in a basal rosette and form a lush bush. The leaves are large, often lanceolate, with a glossy surface. The color of the foliage is green, but there are varietal variations in the form of light green or white stripes. Hardiness is very high. In winter, it can bloom, however, flowering is inexpressive.

  Perhaps the aspidistra is the best plant for the office, and the size of the plant can be chosen commensurate with the size of the workspace.

• Sansevieria (sansevier). Well known as " mother-in-law's tongue". The leaves grow directly from the rhizome, the shape is elongated, the length and color depend on the variety. In addition to the spectacular appearance, it is also incredibly useful. It purifies the air of substances toxic to humans, while releasing oxygen. It is very easy to propagate with the help of rhizomes.

  Straight, upwardly stretching sansevieria leaves will bring severity to the room, however, the bright color of the leaves can soften this impression.

• Pilea. This modest flower is perfect for a small office, you can even decorate your desktop with it. Height up to 40 cm, there are creeping or branching specimens at the base. Stems are juicy and fleshy. The leaves are opposite. The size and shape depend on the variety. As well as numerous colors. With such a plant, it will definitely not be boring.

  Compact saw can be successfully placed in any corner of the office

• Croton (codiaum). Very bright and elegant flower. The plant is branched, with leaves of various shapes (three-lobed, notched, broadly ovate, spirally twisted). Coloring includes both two-tone (yellow-green) and multi-color combinations (green-yellow-red-purple). The leaf plate is leathery, shiny. Of course, for such an exotic, some care will be required, but it is quite simple.

  Even one croton in a well-chosen flowerpot can enliven the space.

• Aglaonema. Perennial with an upright short stem, which is almost invisible in young plants. Leaves on short or long petioles, entire, oblong-lanceolate or broadly ovate. To the touch, the leaf plate is dense, moderately leathery. Color variations vary by variety. At good care often blooms, but the flower is not bright and does not look advantageous against the background of foliage.

  Large specimens of agloanema can serve as a flower screen dividing a large workspace into smaller and more comfortable zones.

• Aucuba. Evergreen shrub form. The leaves are oval or oblong-lanceolate, the edges are smooth or serrated. Coloring can be bright green or green-yellow. Perfectly helps to relax those who are busy with mental work. It is not very difficult to take care of.
