Plants for Your Office Desk

 10 Best Plants for Your Office Desk



Arriving at the office before sunrise and leaving at dusk can leave an outdoor enthusiast feeling truly deprived. Using a light therapy lamp or lightbox can help, but adding some houseplants can be the natural addition needed to improve productivity and job satisfaction. Office plants can increase humidity around the desk, purify the air And add to your workplace decor


Snake plant


The hardy nature of sansevieria, also known as snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue, means it can continue to grow until its owner retires. Not all snake plants are created equal when it comes to size. Read the plant label carefully to avoid choosing plants that grow several feet tall. Instead, look for a dwarf selection like 'Futura Superba' or 'Whitney'. Perfect for new houseplants, snake plants don't require special attention—just give them a drink from your water bottle on your way out the door on Friday and enjoy this slow-growing table plant.

African Violet


The fuzzy-leaved plant that became popular in the 1970s still has a cult following, and for good reason: modern African violet hybrids thrive in average humidity and temperature just like humans. Although adequate light is essential for flowering, African violets are not picky about the source of that light, and a fluorescent lamp aimed at the plant is acceptable. A window facing north or east provides better light conditions; Avoid placing this plant in direct sunlight. Miniature violets, less than six inches in diameter, can accommodate a flowering office plant even in small spaces.


English ivy



Soften the hard lines of the table with a trailing plant like English ivy. Ivy needs medium light and average water to thrive indoors. If the trailing climbing nature of ivy is too exciting, wrap ivy tendrils around a trellis or wire obelisk for living art.


While you can't go wrong with the classic Hedera Helix variety, newer cultivars have added more diversity. 'Silver Dollar' and 'Yellow Ripple' have a gray or golden color. Smaller spaces benefit from dwarf varieties such as 'Pixie Dixie'. For those who like fancy foliage, try 'Curly Locks' or 'Manta's Crested'.

ZZ plant


Zamioculus zamifolia, commonly known as the ZZ plant, is a succulent plant that has gained popularity as a houseplant with two characteristics: tolerance to low light and the ability to grow with little water. The ZZ plant is native to Africa and does well with fluorescent bulbs as its sole light source. The ladder leaves of the common ZZ plant are a pleasant addition to an office setting, but the almost black stems and foliage of the latest 'Raven' cultivar look stunning on a white desktop.


Aloe



Aloe plants are easy to grow if provided with one essential ingredient: plenty of bright light. If a table is located near a sunny window, place the plant there and forget about it, because these succulents need water every two weeks. Standard cactus barbadensis is attractive for any modern office space, or you can explore the splendor of dwarf 'Minibell' or speckled 'Tiger Tooth' cultivars. Grow them in a sandy cactus mix to ensure the best drainage these plants need.


Philodendron


Whether an office is flooded with natural light or tucked away in a cozy corner, a carefree philodendron can add cheer with its glossy green leaves and laid-back habit. Although philodendron is often used for hanging baskets, it works just as well as a miniature trellis or totem pole. Philodendron needs regular moisture to maintain its lush appearance, so a self-watering system can be a lifesaver for those specimens without a constant caretaker. For a beautiful container mix, grow the silver-colored 'Brandy' cultivar with evergreen varieties such as 'Green Heartleaf'.

Tillandsia


To grow Tillandsia or plants that don't need soil (known as air plants), it's important to think outside the pot. You can attach air plants to a piece of driftwood with some fishing line. You can fill a miniature terrarium with air plant varieties or arrange air plants in a shell, teacup, or another unusual container.


The genus Tillandsia includes several hundred species in the bromeliad family, all with green, silver, or rosy pointed foliage. Because they are epiphytes that grow among shady tree branches, air plants don't need much light, but those on sunnier tables are more likely to grow flower spikes. Mist the entire plant weekly as the modified scales on the leaves absorb the moisture the plant needs.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Image
Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro...

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

Image
It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b...

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

Image
 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1. Desert rose The thick, fleshy leaves of this succulent retain water, so you don't need to water as often. The desert rose gets its name from its habitat and its resemblance to a rose. 2. Aloe Vera When someone says a...
