Should You Choose Plant Leasing?

Installing plants in indoor spaces is one of the most beneficial design choices you can make. Whether an office, retail space, hospital or airport, plants contribute a lot more than aesthetic beauty – although the way that plants transform the look of a space is a significant benefit as well. Property managers may shy away from taking on an interior landscape project if they aren’t familiar with green plant care and maintenance, but this is a mistake. Plant leasing offers commercial building owners a versatile and practical solution that delivers lush greenery without any hassle.

The number of companies that are turning to plant leasing for their indoor design needs continues to grow – with good reason. Installing the right type of plants can significantly improve air quality, especially important in spaces where many people live, work, or shop. Transportation hubs and medical facilities also benefit from the purified air that plants such as spider or pothos plants can provide. How well do these plants work as air filters? Recent studies indicate that each potted plant can purify the air in 100 square feet of space. Cleaner air supports overall health and wellness, but also helps to increase focus and productivity – something everyone can appreciate.

Why Does Plant Leasing Make More Sense?

Even if we have convinced you of the benefits of adding green plants to your place of business, the question remains – should you buy your own plants, or look into plant leasing?

Plant leasing is growing in popularity for many reasons, including:

• Experience and Knowledge: Most people are not knowledgeable about plants and the environment they need to grow and thrive. When choosing plants for your commercial building, you must take into account the amount of natural and artificial light and the indoor climate. You may need to place certain plants close to southern windows and make sure others stay in the shade. You may need to keep some plants away from air conditioning vents or choose plants to combat specific contaminants. Plant leasing companies employ trained horticulturalists who are experts in all these details and much more. If you are going to invest in a building full of live plants, plant leasing professionals can help you get the most for your money.
• Design and Planning: Once you understand the types of plants that will thrive in your building, plant leasing specialists can help you create an interior landscape design that is beautiful and balanced. You want your plants to contribute to the overall aesthetic of the space and lend their beauty in a cohesive way.
• Maintenance and Care: One of the most significant benefits of hiring a plant leasing company is its ongoing service. Professional plant care specialists understand watering schedules and pruning requirements and will ensure that each individual plant is healthy and thriving. If a plant is damaged, dehydrated, or dying, it will be immediately replaced. You’ll never have to worry about plant care, but your plants will always look spectacular.
• Flexibility: Plant leasing (as opposed to purchase) allows companies the flexibility to change their plants when they choose – whether to make seasonal changes, set up for a special event, or simply transform the look of the space. When you lease the plants, you can send them back and replace them easily. And you won’t go it alone – design professionals and plant experts will be available to make recommendations and help with any decisions.
