How to care for Office Plants in Austin
As the city of Austin continues to grow, more and more new businesses are opening up or expanding. This is an exciting time to grow or maintain the interior plantscape of the Texas Capital.
Caring for office plants is easy when you follow a few key steps. Ensure your plants receive plenty of light, opt for low maintenance varieties like ZZ Plants, stick to a regular watering schedule, use planters with good drainage, and fertilize occasionally.
Developing a Plant Care Routine
Plants are living things, and living things enhance the atmosphere of any space - be it a cozy therapist's office, a high-end bistro, a rugged autobody shop, or anywhere in between. A live plant makes customers happy, and employees more productive. So, it's best to have someone take ownership of the plants!
Maybe you have someone on staff who has a green thumb, or someone willing to learn. This is why it's so important to pick low maintenance houseplants so nobody has to fuss over them! If one of your plants is struggling, no worries! There's usually an easy fix. Read on.
How to Help a Struggling Office Plant
Sometimes, despite our best efforts a plant can struggle. Look for sings such as yellow / browning leaves, leaf drop, mushy growth, or a lack of growth after several months. These can all mean that the plant in your business is not getting the light, water, or food that it needs!
Most of the time, all that needs to be done is to give your green babies some more light! Open up those windows. Move the plants closer to them, and turn on the lights when staff is around! If that doesn't help, consider repotting your plant - and make sure that new planters have great drainage.
