Offices can sometimes look hard and intimidating. The atmosphere can be softened up with upholstery, table dcor, and wall hangings. Another thing that can soften up an offices look are plants. Plants can bring an office life and color. There are even some indoor plants that are easy care and will bloom. Plants in an office improve air quality. There are a variety of plants that will grow in an office environment.

Orchids are elegant plants like that can be brought into the office. They look beautiful when blooming, but kind of bare when the blooms are gone. The orchid can be set with other plants with more foliage or near silk flowers. They are easy to care for and dont need a lot of light so they make good office plants. Some varieties are a little stubborn about blooming or may only bloom once a lifetime. There is a orchid bloom color for every dcor.

Philodendrons are hearty plants and can survive neglect. They will do fine over long weekends and will be forgiving of forgetful staff. When NASA tested plants for which ones removed toxins from the air, Philodendrons were among the best in removing toxins from the air. They tend to grow long vines that can be draped over objects or hand down from a shelf. Trimming regularly will create a bushier plant. They also can be trimmed and they root easily. The leaves can be solid green or variegated.

Ferns make great office plants because they are full and lush. They come in a variety of sizes. They are less forgiving of being forgotten and for long weekends a thorough watering should be done. They like humidity and in dry office buildings may require occasional misting to maintain moisture levels.

Violets add delicate color and can easily be made to bloom often. Violets come in white, blues, purples, and reds. They do like some light so a grow light may be needed for a really dark office. They are watered from the bottom, so violet pots provide a place for the water to be absorbed. This makes care easy, just fill up the reservoir before a long weekend.

Bromeliad plants are hearty plants and can withstand some neglect. They make great office plants because their colorful leaves add color, interest, and contrast to a grouping of plants and the office dcor. Bromeliad plants will produce beautiful blooms. Some of them grow large and can fill in large empty space in an office.

When purchasing plants for an office be sure the office furniture underneath it is protected from possible water overflow. Watering the plants in a kitchen area and allowing time for the plants to drain is a good idea.
