All indoor plants can be roughly divided into two categories: those that are simply necessary in the office and feel good there, and those that are difficult to take root in the office space and require complex care. It's about the second category and it's worth learning more.
What plants are not suitable for the office
There are a lot of plants that are not intended for growing in office conditions. This is easily explained by the fact that the plants need to go to winter dormancy. And in a room it is impossible to do this, since the air temperature is always approximately the same (20-25 degrees). Representatives of the flora start to get sick, and sometimes die.
Indoor plants feel comfortable in such conditions only in the summer. In winter, they need an air temperature of no more than fifteen degrees Celsius. It is clear that people do not work in any office space at this temperature.
Some houseplants need to shed their foliage for the winter. Such types and varieties should not be purchased for the office at all. It is possible to list such representatives for a long time, but here are at least the main ones: some types azaleas, hydrangea, some varieties of magnolia, myrtle, jasmine, wisteria. Such plants need special care in the winter.
Indoor flowers are often selected for their decorative qualities. It should be borne in mind that they can be an element of decor only a few months a year, flowering does not last all year. So in the remaining months, flowers will need not ordinary care, but one that requires a lot of love, time and patience. And who will do this during working hours?
Some alternatively choose cacti and consider them almost a magical flower, capable of cleaning a room both literally and figuratively. In fact, this plant is an ideal dust collector, from which it is difficult and not very convenient to get rid of. And if the room is located on the territory of an industrial enterprise, then with a large flow of people and a lot of movement around the office, the cactus will lose all its decorative qualities.
