Interior landscape company Plant Solutions offers plants for every workplace and budget

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – July 29, 2021 – Plant Solutions, a Scottsdale-based leader in interior landscape
design, installation and maintenance, is offering its expertise on the easiest plants to care for in an office
as employees are looking to return in person.

“We understand how important it is for employers and workers to feel safe and happy in their work
environment,” said Joe Zazzera, founding principal of Plant Solutions.  “Our team thinks it’s important that all employers and asset managers consider the benefits of plants and bringing nature indoors.”

Plants have been researched and are recognized as a great way to uplift the mood in a workplace
environment by offering fresher air, increased productivity and creativity, and reduced stress.
There are millions of different plants around the world, all unique and special. Contrary to popular
belief, tropical plants thrive in a controlled environment located within interior structures, even here in
our desert climate. While there are so many different plants, not all of them are right for an indoor
office environment. On the other hand, many plants thrive as part of interior greenery.

Neon Pothos

Neon Pothos are very hardy plants. They are a chartreuse-yellow color and a great addition to any plant wall. These bright plants easily perk up rooms and offices with their vibrant color.

Pothos “Green Queens”

Pothos “Green Queens”do well in most lighting conditions. These plants provide great color contrast and definition to a plant wall.

Variegated Philodendron Cordatum Brasils

Variegated Philodendron Cordatum Brasils are known for their heart-shaped leaves. They
tolerate most watering and light conditions, though they thrive in bright indirect light.  Bird’s Nest Ferns provide great flowing texture when contrasted with other plants. With their feathery look, these plants add vibrant pops of green to any space. Bird’s nest ferns produce crowns of upright, undivided fronds that grow in a rosette formation, creating a funnel-like center.

Lemon Lime Warneckiis

Lemon Lime Warneckiis are great interior plants because they require very little attention and can survive in low light; however, they prefer moderate to bright light. Warneckiis are a great way to add a pop of color into a space, as they have a beautiful lime-yellow color on their leaves. It is important that employees feel safe going back into the office, as the current public health landscape is facilitating a return to traditional offices. “Plants can be an essential part of making sure employers and employees are comfortable with
returning to in-person working,” added Zazzera.
