New year, new work plants!

What's a new year without a couple of new plants to set the tone for a fresh chapter? Don't wait to be given a plant, shop them on your terms with your tastes and environment in mind. 

Work spaces are evolving, be it working remotely, at a company building, a dorm room or working from the comforts of your own home! This is your guide to must-have plants for a super inspiring space to grind in. 

Now that you’ve gotten back into the swing of things at work and worn off vacation mode, you can focus on making your work space zen and conducive to reaching all your goals. 

The Remote Worker

If you're a travel blogger working from a tiny home on wheels or an artist in residency, you'll appreciate the grounding feeling that plants bring to any space! Sure, you're a non-conformist who isn't confined to a single building to call home and that's really cool, but don't forget to keep some plants with you! They'll bring a sense of stability and home in those moments when you're a little homesick. 

Having the pleasure of socialising with colleagues is something you've forfeited when you have this work environment. So add a few plant pals instead! They'll be a constant reminder of growth, endurance and good cheer! Plus, they don't judge. 

Here are our top picks for nomadic living. 

  1. Philodendron birkin

Water: every 7 - 10 days. 

Light: indirect light.

  1. Stromanthe triostar

Water: every 5-7 days. 

Light: bright, indirect light.

The Everyday Commuter 

Don't let the pressure of being in an office everyday hinder you from the joy of having and caring for plants! In fact, having to deal with traffic, pressures in the workplace and getting all your work done on top of it, is all the more reason to shower your working space with the calming effect of plants.

Whether you have a tiny desk or a spacious office, we have recommendations big and small. Count on these plants to cleanse the air, minimize stressful moments and be a constant reminder of inspiration. Plus, taking five minutes every other day to care for them may just be the moment of zen you never knew you needed. 

Here are our choice options for a more serene work space.

  1. Snake plant

The Work From Homer

Your home is your oasis and your WFH desk or office should be treated no less. 

While everyone might think working from home means not working at all, you can prove them wrong and still have a space that looks like a holiday! 

With more time to save, you can dedicate more time to caring for your plants and have a few more of them too.

Here are our top picks for your WFH lifestyle!
