The Benefits of Living Plants

The benefits of professionally managed interior plants are tangible and long lasting. The air quality and acoustics are improved as well as the visual presentation of your company. Adding a few carefully selected and maintained plants to your interior environment is a simple way to improve your health and allow you to feel better in your workplace.

Plants absorb pollutants through their leaves transforming 90% into sugars, new plant material and oxygen. Analysis shows the air quality in a 30m square room can be improved with 3 to 6 plants which act as natural pollution filters. NASA studies prove that plants do a remarkable job of removing interior air pollutants such as Formaldehydes, Benzol and Phenols released from building materials, contributing to the phenomenon known as "Sick Building Syndrome".

Companies should recognise that green and living plants in the workplace improve both staff morale and productivity by actually increasing physical capability. It is well documented that poor quality polluted air accelerates exhaustion, causes headaches, inability to concentrate, and muscle tension. These are all symptoms of 'Sick Building Syndrome', which can be alleviated by adding properly selected and well maintained live plants in the working environment.
