Greening Up Your Workspace: A Realtor’s Guide to Office Houseplants
Welcome to our workspace oasis! As Realtors, our days are often spent in the hustle and bustle of the real estate world. Yet, between the contracts and negotiations, we’ve found solace & calmness in the green companions that share our office space. Today, let’s take a closer look at our fabulous six: the Angel Wing Begonia, Dumbcane, Snake Plant, Ponytail Palm, and Flamingo Flower. Not only do these plants add a touch of nature to Rooted Realty Group, but they also bring a host of health benefits.

Meet the elegant Angel Wing Begonia, with its angelic-shaped leaves that gracefully drape downward. This beauty thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, and your begonia will reward you with charming pink blooms. Perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any workspace.

Bring a splash of color to your workspace with the Flamingo Flower. With its heart-shaped, vibrant red blooms, this plant is a showstopper. Provide bright, indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist. Not only does the Flamingo Flower add visual appeal, but it also contributes to indoor air purification.

The Dumbcane, known for its striking patterned leaves, is a low-maintenance addition to any office. Place it in moderate to bright indirect light, and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Be cautious, though – the sap can be irritating to the skin, so handle with care. This vibrant plant not only cleanses the air but also adds a pop of greenery to your surroundings.

The Snake Plant, also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, is a hardy and resilient office companion. Thriving in low light conditions, it’s perfect for those dim corners. Water sparingly, as this plant prefers to dry out between waterings. Known for its air-purifying properties, the Snake Plant will keep your workspace fresh and invigorating.

Despite its name, the Ponytail Palm is not a true palm but rather a succulent. This quirky plant stores water in its bulbous base, making it drought-tolerant and easy to care for. Place it in bright, indirect light and water sparingly. The unique look of its cascading leaves adds a touch of whimsy to any office space.

The ZZ Plant is a low-maintenance, air-purifying gem that thrives in low to bright, indirect light. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and you’ll have a resilient and attractive addition to your workspace. The ZZ Plant’s glossy, dark green leaves add a touch of modern elegance to any office setting.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, these office plants offer numerous health benefits. Studies have shown that indoor plants can improve air quality, reduce stress, and increase productivity. Incorporating these green friends into your workspace or home, is a simple and effective way to create a healthier and more vibrant environment. Happy planting!
