Here are 5 of the best office plants:
Succulents
Centrally heated / air-conditioned offices have notoriously dry air. Succulents thrive with little moisture. Stylish and compact, they’re ideal for smaller workspaces.
Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily)
This delicate looking plant is surprisingly tough and only needs watering about once a week. And it’s one of the best air purifying plants.
Sansevieria (Mother-in-law’s tongue/Snake Plant)
A beautiful, easy to care for plant. It makes a great low-light houseplant to brighten your office. It’s also a natural defense tool against air pollution.
Philodendron
This low maintenance plant will let you get on with your work without needing much attention and is suitable for a wide range of indoor conditions. Water approximately twice a week.
Howea forsteriana (Kentia palm)
This tropical looking plant is known for its air-purifying properties. Low maintenance and happy in a partially shaded spot but try to avoid direct sunlight.
