The Best Plants For Your Home Office

March 25, 2020


Does your home office leave you feeling less than inspired? 

One simple way to dress it up is by adding a few plants. In fact, research shows plants do more than make your workspace more visually appealing—they can improve your mood, promote innovation and improve air quality.

Of course, you don't want anything that's going to add to your growing to-do list, so look for long-lasting, low-maintenance indoor plants that will thrive with minimal care. Here are a few of our favorites. 

The Best Plants For Home Offices

Orchids

Colorful, beautiful and elegant, orchids require minimal care and can bloom for many years. Just make sure your plant gets plenty of indirect sunlight and water it once a week with three ice cubes for a classic orchid and one ice cube for a mini orchid. 

Succulents

Known for their earthy appearance and hardiness, succulent plants thrive with minimal care. You can plant several in a larger planter or decorate your desk with several small succulent containers. 

Money Tree Plants

Also known as the Pachira plant, money trees are the perfect office companion. Not only are they said to bring good fortune, but they also do well in indoor environments. 

Peace Lilies

Peace lilies are incredibly difficult to kill, making them the perfect office plant. In general, peace lilies need very little water, but just in case you do forget to water your plant for too long, your peace lily will wilt or “lay down” to remind you. Once you give it a little bit of water, you can watch it perk right back up.

Anthuriums

What better plant for your office than the world’s longest blooming plant? Anthurium flower spikes can last up to eight weeks and, since they’re harmful if digested by young children and pets, your office is the perfect place to enjoy this beauty.

Bromeliads

Give your office a tropical flair with bromeliads. These versatile and low-maintenance plants come in several different colors, so you can easily find one that matches your office décor.

Spider Plants

Most commonly displayed in a hanging pot, spider plants are a classic office favorite. And, as a bonus, the stems grow smaller plant “clumps” at the ends that you can clip and repot as a gift to a co-worker.

African Violets

Though not quite as low maintenance as all the other plants on this list, African violets take up very little desk space and produce beautiful purpose flowers. They may need a bit more water to stay perky, but they’re a good choice nonetheless.
