If you spend more hours at work than in your home, no wonder you hate the boring scenery of your office. Creating a working area that’s as comfy and colourful as your home does require money and time, however this does not mean you can’t design an office you’ll enjoy spending 40-plus hours in. Think office plants; they do wonders when it comes to brightening dull offices, and can even improve your concentration.

The reason for this is because nature has a significant effect on the human brain. Being in nature can be very healing, so to make the best of both worlds, plants in your office will show you how nature and work go together. Since green colour is associated with life, energy, growth, harmony, freshness and relaxation, it is not strange that plants in an office can reduce stress, increase the level of productivity and the sense of focus. Plants are natural air filters and can also improve the air quality in your office, which means there will be less time spent on sick-days as people can recover faster from an illness if there are plants around them.

According to many surveys, the best plants that can add a touch of green in your work space are: Madagascar Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata), Yucca (Yucca elephantipes), Janet Craig (Dracaena deremensis), Jade plant (Crassula ovata) and different varieties of cactus (just keep in mind they require a lot of sunlight). All of them can act as a focal point in your work environment and are also great for your overall well-being.

Finding plants that are suited to your workspace is easy; knowing how much, how often and when to water is crucial as the last thing you want is your plants to die. What you need is a low maintenance watering option, that is, self-watering office pots. Built-in water reservoir will ensure your plants thrive (regardless of your busy schedule).
