Pick Plants for How the Office Actually Works
A sunny private office, a darker shared workspace and a busy reception desk all need different plants.
Start with light, available space and who is realistically going to remember the watering can.
CHOOSING OFFICE PLANTS
The Best Office Plant Fits the Office
Work around the conditions before choosing the plant.
Office plants still need suitable light, sensible watering and enough room to grow. The easiest choice is usually one that suits the actual workplace and the people looking after it.
Check how much useful natural light reaches the exact position.
Match the plant to a desk, shelf, reception area or larger floor space.
Choose around how regularly somebody will actually check and water it.
Keep plants clear of busy walkways, vents and areas where they will be constantly knocked.

OFFICE & WORKPLACE HOUSEPLANTS
A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Are Good Houseplants for an Office Desk? +
Compact and adaptable plants are often the easiest choices for desks.
Depending on the available light, options can include ZZ plants, snake plants, Aglaonema, Peperomia, Pothos and other smaller foliage plants.
The best choice depends on where the desk sits, how much light reaches it and how much working space you actually have.
Can Houseplants Grow in a Low Light Office? +
Some plants tolerate lower light better than others, but low light does not mean no light.
Offices with very little usable natural light may need an appropriate artificial growing light if plants are going to stay healthy long term.
Explore our Low Light Plants for options better suited to darker workspaces.
What Are Good Low Maintenance Office Plants? +
More forgiving houseplants are usually the better choice when several people share responsibility or when plant care is unlikely to happen on a perfect schedule.
Explore our Easy Care Plants for options that can be a better fit for busy workplaces.
What Size Plant Is Best for a Desk? +
Smaller and compact houseplants are usually easier to position on a desk without taking over valuable working space.
If room is limited, explore Small & Compact Plants for plants better suited to desks, shelves and smaller surfaces.
Can You Supply Plants for a Whole Office or Workplace? +
Yes. Oh Shoot! Plants can help businesses with plant sourcing, positioning, installation and ongoing plant care depending on what the space needs.
