Plants for home offices
Plants are power for your brain. Being around plants can have a positive impact on productivity and improve wellbeing. If you spend a lot of time indoors behind a desk, why not bring some of the outside in, with our collection of concentration-boosting, colourful and calming indoor houseplants?
Once you’ve decided on your home office plants, get your new pals some pots and plant stands to help them look their best.
Plants to brighten up your workspace
Felicity might have roots in the rainforest, but she will fit right in to your urban jungle. With a good amount of light, she will thrive and blossom. If your home office needs brightening up, let her be a helping hand.
Kenan, our bromeliad, really is the life and soul of the party. In Brazil, this plant is known as the ‘living fiesta’. His orange flower will brighten any work day.
We love Juliette the calathea for her pretty patterned foliage. She's also known as a prayer plant, because her leaves unfurl in the morning, and curl up at night when the sun's gone down. Put her in a spot with indirect sunlight to keep her happy.
Plants for a well-lit home office
Our ficus moclame, Sarah, is a real winner. In the wild, she can grow incredibly tall, sometimes reaching around 18 metres. Don't worry if your ceilings aren't quite that high, this houseplant will stay under control.
Originally from western Africa, Fidel the fiddle-leaf fig will give your space that tropical look with his lyre-shaped leaves. He's a tough guy who can cope with less-than-perfect conditions.
Plants for a dimly-lit home office
Who doesn't crave peace while they're working? Pippa the peace lily can add a bit of zen to your space thanks to her soft, dark green foliage and year-round flowers. She prefers a shady spot, making her a great option to brighten up those empty corners in your home.
Howard the aspidistra is a seriously tough guy. Nicknamed the ‘cast iron plant’, he is nearly indestructible and can handle a skipped watering or two. His impressive form will brighten up any space.
Cassie, our ZZ plant, is as tough as they come. She’s not fussy and can store water for a long time, meaning she won’t mind if you forget to give her a drink every now and then.
