Let’s take a look at how this all stacks up: Buying plants vs professional plant hire services. Living a sustainable and healthy lifestyle is quickly becoming an accepted trend around the world with more and more people learning the important benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle. One of these growing trends is installing office plants using a professional indoor plant hire service.
Looking Good
Well maintained office plants offer multiple benefits to the people who work around them. These include people feeling healthier (physically and spiritually), breathing clean air with less toxins and offering a more aesthetically pleasing workplace.
There is also a more positive impression that the business has a ‘green’ attitude and, provided the plants look healthy, that they are keeping a well maintained professional office and business.
It Can’t Be That Hard!
At first glance, managing indoor plants in your workplace seems simple. Until you actually try to do it. Choosing the right plants for your space, light, and layout quickly becomes confusing, and what looks good on day one doesn’t always survive in reality. Then comes the ongoing effort. Watering schedules, cleaning pots, trimming growth, replacing sick plants, and making sure everything still looks professional. It often ends up as an unspoken task dumped on someone in the team who isn’t trained and doesn’t have the time.
Then there is everything else that comes with it. Sourcing quality plants, organising delivery and installation, buying maintenance items, and replacing plants when they fail. Add to that the pressure of keeping your space looking current as trends and décor change. What starts as a simple idea turns into a constant drain on time, attention, and budget. This is exactly where professional indoor plant hire removes the burden and gets it right from the start.
What To Do?
Some important advantages of employing a good professional indoor plant hire company include:
- Office plants are cleaned, shined and watered regularly by people who have been trained to maintain them
- Any unhappy plants will be replaced as needed at no extra cost for you.
- You don’t have to worry about finding office staff who will do everything from choosing planter decor to experimenting with plant species
- There is always someone you can call when you want to change the indoor plants or update the planters to a new style or colour
- You will have a proper waterproof planter system installed and won’t have to worry about the equipment wearing out as someone will undertake regular indoor plant maintenance.
- Everything is arranged and organised for your peace of mind
- Your office plants will always look good!
Professional Indoor Plant Hire: Stress Free AND Less Cost!
Another important advantage of plant hire by a professional provider in Sydney is that your total costs go down with time; despite the popular myth that it might be expensive to hire people to take care of plants. You will need to remember to weigh in the costs incurred when you are spending dollars on the commute and transport involved in finding the right nurseries and shops, delivery charges, labour costs for someone to maintain them and the costs associated with buying a plant to replace one that dies (because a staff member went on holidays and nobody watered them).
With professional indoor plant hire, all you have to do is arrange a free consultation and then your monthly invoice will cover all of this work. It’s better to have no plants than sick plants! If you have already installed office plants and need a ‘rescue’…most good plant hire companies will be able to help bring the plants up to a professional standard or assist with replacements.
Yes…Always Looking Good
All in all, with all the pros and cons factored in, it can be said that if you are committed to living in a green office environment then you should strongly consider plant hire by a professional service provider because they have the knowledge and experience that is needed to choose the right office plants and the expertise to handle and maintain the plants so your business always looks good!
