At a glance, buying plants may seem easier. You can make a one-time investment and buy office plants online through big retailers. But if you want the right plants for your space, stress-free maintenance, and all the benefits of an ongoing relationship, office plant renting is the smarter option.
Get more for your money by renting
Ordering office plants online can be tricky, plants are living things that don't travel well in cardboard boxes, often arriving damaged. Cheaper options from big retailers are often low quality and may die quickly due to suboptimal growing conditions. Renting through a subscription service provides regular maintenance and replacements, ensuring your greenery always looks fresh. Renting is more cost-effective, especially for high-density designs, and often offers tax advantages over buying.
Plant rentals include design services
When buying, office managers spend considerable time researching the right plants for their space. If you get it wrong, the plants might not survive, and you'll cover the replacement cost. With office plant rental, all of this is handled for you. You benefit from bespoke designs tailored to your brand, rather than settling for random pots. Plant rental also offers free office moves, allowing your greenery to grow and evolve alongside your company.
Indoor plants need care and maintenance
Plants are living organisms that require varying care and conditions to thrive. When you buy your own greenery, you'll need to arrange indoor plant care services as well. The cost of a watering service and other maintenance fees quickly adds up. Proper plant care involves far more than just watering, from temperature and humidity to repotting, fertilizing, and pruning. This is specialist knowledge and should be managed by experts.
Rent plants, support sustainability
When buying office plants online, excessive packaging and carbon emissions of transportation are damaging to the environment. Office plant renting turns your workplace into an indoor forest without the environmental cost. When you're done with your plants, whether you're redesigning, moving office, or simply ready for a change, instead of throwing them away, the rental company takes them back. The plants are loaned to other spaces, so nothing goes to waste.
