Emerald and undemanding: our top of easy plants for office spaces
Plants in the workspace positively affect our performance and increase concentration. However, the conditions of office spaces are far from ideal. Many houseplants suffer from lack of light, temperature changes due to the operation of air conditioners, as well as lack of professional care.

The main factor influencing the choice of a plant for a certain space is lighting, because plants need light to photosynthesize. A distance within two meters from the windows is the most favorable and allows a complete freedom of plant choice. But in the conditions of dozens and even hundreds of square meters it is a utopia. Therefore, this problem can be solved by properly selected lighting with daylight bulbs.
Modern interior design projects often involve a space that is friendly to indoor plants, primarily due to properly planned built-in lighting. In order for the greenery to develop, the lamps must be bright enough, be placed close enough and located above the plants.
It's also always important to consider sources of heating and other climate controls. Temperature extremes, close proximity to radiators or cold air currents can kill greenery.
Ideally, the interior designer should collaborate with a phytodesigner at the design stage to achieve the best possible result. But more often than not, professionals have to work with existing spaces and adjust landscaping projects to existing conditions.

But even the most ideal conditions are no guarantee that plants will remain healthy and will not lose their ornamental quality if they are not cared for in a professional manner. Proper watering, timely pruning and replanting, as well as pest and disease control are very important.
That is why a comprehensive approach to plant styling in the office is important.
And at the stage of plant selection you can always give preference to more easy to care and low-light plants.
Easy houseplants are usually the plants that naturally inhabit the lower tier of the tropics. They have been adapted for centuries to the more adverse conditions of survival, such as shade in the first place.
They are usually ornamental-leaved green species that are not variegated, brightly colored or blooming. It is certainly true that it is impossible to have brightly colored plants blooming all the time in office spaces, far from the sun and specialized grow lighting.

But it also doesn't mean that shade-tolerant plants are boring and monotonous. The variety of patterns, shades from bright green to deep blue-green, shapes and textures attract attention and also harmonize the interior.
But even if they are easy-to-care and low-light tolerant, it does not mean that plants will remain healthy and beautiful in any conditions. It is important to constantly monitor them, adjust watering to the amount of light received, as well as the temperature regime, which is always changing, even indoors. Houseplants should have a lush and fresh appearance. Our eyes should rest on the greenery, as it is so important for modern people living in a concrete jungle.
It is always important to mix plants of different sizes in the interior. Due to the combination of large, medium and small plants our vision perceives the environment harmoniously.
