Question 9

Why should I not just buy office plants?

Answer

In the last 50 years the office plant has had a bad reputation. The dusty ficus stood somewhere in the corner with yellow leaves. The reason for this is the purchase model. Companies invest millions in the interior design of a new location, in high-quality furniture and materials. After 3 years, the office and the high-quality finishing still look like new. Except for the purchased plants, in which you have also invested a lot of money. A third to half of them no longer look nice and would need to be replaced. However, nobody takes care of the plants and buying new plants also means a new investment. The result: A plant concept that is no longer plant concept and a picture of dry shoots and yellow leaves. However, plants should bring naturalness and vitality into the room. In the rental model, we are responsible for ensuring that the plants always look good and healthy. Regular replacement is essential for this purpose, which is included in our service. There are no opportunity or reinvestment costs. Your office will still look new in 5 years of time and the plants will thrive with it.
