No home or office or workspace is complete without the health and stylistic benefits of living botanicals for peace of mind, clean air and of course that splash of  colour and style. Choosing a plant for a space is as important as choosing a piece of furniture. It is an integral part of dressing the area to complete the finished look. Whether it is a small cactus for the bathroom, an orchid for the bedroom or a large palm for the office, we can help you decide between the many varieties of plants available. They are  planted into carefully chosen containers to best accentuate the plant and are ready to transport into your own home or work domain.

Most businesses believe that plants are an integral part of selling the environment and are prepared to allocate the space and resources to accommodate them.
The bonus is there are other benefits to our green friends than just beautifying your space. For centuries the Chinese have used houseplants to create "living energy" in their homes and workplaces. Did you know that they are also good for you? Plants provide cleaner air, absorb toxins and dust, help to reduce noise pollution in the home, and improve the overall  feelings of wellbeing -they even lower blood pressure, help concentration and improve memory.

Studies have found that when living plants are present indoors:
 

Anxiety levels are lowered
People recover from mental tiredness faster
Interiors feel spacious, looked after and clean
People occupy rooms more when plants are present
People perceive interiors as "more expensive" looking
Given a choice, people sit where they can see plants *

All types of interior plants will help you relax and feel better, however there are particular varieties that are more effective. Boston ferns, rubber plants, weeping fig and peace lily, are a few that  can dramatically improve air quality by removing formaldehyde from the atmosphere.  Formaldehyde is one of the most commonly occurring chemicals and has been linked with asthma and other respiratory problems. It is emitted by gas cookers, as well as being present in everyday items such as tissues, carpet backing, ceiling tiles and cigarette smoke. Spider plants are good for absorbing carbon monoxide, a spider plant in an enclosed area can remove 95% of the carbon monoxide from the air. Dragon tree plants and dracaenas absorb many of the harmful emissions from computers, printers. Hibiscus, Boston fern or rubber plants are natural humidifiers. Amazingly, plants are not harmed by the absorption process and will continue to function as long as they stay healthy.

Question about plants in bedrooms?

Many wonder about keeping plants in the bedroom. There is a reason why it is recommended to avoid keeping plants in the bedroom when you sleep, in particular in non loft like bedrooms or for those who sleep with the door closed in the evening with no source of fresh air. Light is the initiating factor in the process of photosynthesis. This is where plants convert energy from light to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

This part of the plants process is for it's own survival and growth and we benefit from this process in their ability to produce fresh oxygen for us and clean the air. However when there is no light in the room this process ceases and in the evening this process reverses where plants "breath" or in other words reverse photosynthesis occurs where they burn carbohydrates and oxygen like humans and produce carbon dioxide instead. People often ask about plants in the bedroom, the answer is during the day they are fine but as the light diminishes and into the evening they are actually breathing in the air from the room depriving you of it, this is especially true for those who sleep with their doors closed.  For those who would like the benefit of clean air in the bedroom it is suggested you remove the plants in the evening from your room or alternatively open  a window in the evening to allow for fresh air to enter your space while both you and your plants sleep at night.
