Let me explain and show you how plants can benefit your business.

Plants work in your business 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Endless notable researches, employees, customers and the public say the presence of plants improve the working environment and provide a significant aesthetic contribution to the work place, retail areas, transport and recreational locations.

How plants will work for you and what plants do, is explained in brief below.

Plants Emit Oxygen

People and plants work in harmony and have done so for hundreds of thousands of years. People need oxygen, we breathe out carbon dioxide, plants take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen during photosynthesis. In a confined working environment it is important to maintain the levels of oxygen in the air we breathe.

Plants Raise Humidity

Plants give off water vapour. This water vapour increases the air humidity to a level comfortable to humans. Increased humidity has the effect of reducing room temperature – especially during summer months. Small water particles also attract and bond together airborne dust particles, which drop to the floor; this helps to clean the air.

Plants Clean Air of Toxins

Toxic gasses present in the air will reduce the average oxygen levels can cause tiredness, headaches, dizziness, difficulty in concentration, resulting in inefficiency, increased stress and low moral.

Modern building materials, fabrics, fluids and electronic machinery such as copiers, printers and computers etc. give off toxins.

Plants absorb toxins through their leaves and replenish oxygen levels. Toxins are transferred to the roots, where they are turned into food energy.

Plants can absorb noise and provide shade

Large dense and leafy plants absorb sound, thereby reducing noise levels. Plants are ideal as buffers between working and meeting areas, receptions and recreational areas, dinning and public areas etc.

Similarly plants will provide shade; however, plant foliage absorbs and reflects light, doing so the plant transpires to remain cool. The emission of water causes transpiration cooling. The cooled air will be felt and be appreciated by people near by.
