Over recent years it has become a widely accepted fact that living plants in the workplace can greatly improve staff performance and well-being. Modern offices are designed to be cost-effective with regard to energy consumption, for this reason often windows do not open and the air circulation becomes stale and contaminated with chemicals released from office machines, fixtures and fittings.

Living plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during daylight hours and release oxygen and water vapour back into the air thus improving the quality of the air around them.Studies have compounded the theory that plants can help to reduce the number of days lost to sickness from complaints such as migraine, sore throats, dry eyes and other common complaints. In large companies the provision of planting is becoming an established part of the Health and Safety policy to help achieve required humidity levels.

There can't be many things available to businesses that can contribute so much to improve the working environment in such a cost effective fashion as renting plant displays!
