Taking Care Of Office Plants Miami

By Pamela West


Addition of plants in your office is one way of ensuring a healthy working environment. Other than for decoration and colorfulness purposes, they also improve indoor air quality. During the process of photosynthesis, office plants Miami help by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and in turn releasing oxygen. One should put the following factors into consideration before deciding that they need floras in their offices.

Pick the appropriate plant. Floras require light for growth, and the more natural it comes, the better. Supposing your workplace is windowless or has insufficient light coming in, then it might be challenging to keep an office plant alive. However, some plants do well under fluorescent lighting, though others are too fragile. Choose those that are able to tolerate low light like dracaena.

We also know that they can survive in rooms with no open windows and thus tend to get stuffy. These plants therefore help people to breathe well and are vital for such surroundings. These organisms purify the air by filtering pollutants. A feeling of drowsiness is common to people in air-tight offices with high accumulation of carbon dioxide. Just one potted greenery is enough for a space of about 100 square feet.

Sufficient watering is essential for these organisms. One is advised to avoid giving the plants much water as well as very little water. In fact overdoing it is more harmful than underdoing it. Usage of pots that would allow for draining unwanted water is thus necessary. In case of limited supply of water, one can use moisture retaining type of soils.

Greenery organisms in the city Miami, FL also require food for proper growth. One should therefore feed them well as done to animals. They require fertilizers and it would thus be in order to use time-release fertilizers that are acquired when mixing with soil is already done. One can also sprinkle fertilizers on top of the soil and the plant organism will feed on it slowly, then add when finished on a regular basis.

Find an ideal place to put them. Choose an appropriate place for each plant that you have. Places under AC units or vents that blow cold or hot air should be avoided. Likewise, do not put them near computers or other devices that produce heat. Failure to do so will hurt your plant, and you also risk of getting water, soil or moisture on your machines. Ensure that you place your plant strategically where there is no traffic as they can be brushed or knocked over often.

Prevent the floras from pest infections. Pests spread very quickly from one greenery to another to a point that one would not be able to control anymore. Separation of already affected ones is important. Regular checkup as a prevention mechanism is also important as well as fast action upon realization of pests and diseases.

Choose hardy plants. Do not go for the flowering floras, especially if you are not lucky enough to work at a corner cubicle with large windows. Most flowering floras require attention that you may fail to provide while carrying out your office duties.
