Make your cubicle more lively with office-appropriate greenery! Greenery is an ideal way to add individuality and hue to the workplace. They can be used to improve more problems apart from just beautifying your office. They remove harmful chemicals from furnishings like carpets, textiles, and paints also they are air filters for printers or copiers that emit ozone as well as others. The research found that by keeping desk plants in offices employees can become happier, more innovative, and thus productive at work. Here are five best indoor plants for offices:

1. Snake Plant

These Dracaena trifasciatas are very resilient and a low-maintenance plant. If you are not careful enough the heights of some could get to two or three times higher than that of your workspace. Consider dwarfed varieties such as either ‘Futura Superba’ or ‘Whitney’. Under their sun-loving nature, you won’t even have to bother with their care because they just need a little sip from your water bottle on your way out. They need eight hours of bright, indirect light that can do wonders for them anyway. The Snake Plant has long been important in NASA’s air purification list due to its ability to clean up pollutants from houses including formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene. The Snake Plant will only require watering at intervals of two weeks! Thin upright leaves with irregular lines running through them help the Snake Plant grab attention because they look like scales on its namesake reptile’s skin and are a great addition to anyone’s office.

2. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera, also called Aloe Barbadensis Miller in scientific terms, is one of the most loved plants. It flourishes under bright light making it a perfect choice for an office window sill whose window is facing the sun. The common kind or smaller varieties such as the dwarf 'Minibelle' or the patched-up ‘Tiger Tooth’ are the best ones for an office setting. For its good health, Aloe Vera needs minimum maintenance and grows best in a sandy cactus potting mix since good drainage is very important for this plant. However, even though its sizes vary between 12-36 inches tall and 6-12 inches wide, it should be noted that Aloe Vera is poisonous both to humans and animals. The best way to take care of this type of plant would be by watering it twice every month so that it can do well in partial to full sunlight at all times.

3. Weeping Fig

Ornamental evergreen is the best name to give this lovely plant because it works well as a houseplant or outdoor ornament. The fig’s beautiful glossy leaves are able to absorb some toxins from the air around us. Ficus Benjamina also requires large amounts of light just like its sister plant, the fiddle leaf, which means it should be positioned in east or west-facing windows or south-facing windows. The fig can also tolerate sitting outside in patio areas and porches and even onto decks but it must remain shaded all through because it can also survive under direct sunlight. It should be noted that those people living on high latitudes can only enjoy having these plants outside from spring until fall months since night temperatures may get down to about low 40s indoors.

4. Spiderwort

Spiderwort (Tradescantia) is among some of the easiest-growing plants that you can always take care of. It greatly adds vibrancy through its purple foliage to any desk or table. Although they do well in varied light conditions, brighter spaces are better for more variegated types’ full blooming potential; thus making window spots perfect spots for them. There are several ways in which spiderwort differs visually, from deep-purple solids like ‘Purple Heart’ to reddish stripes with silver borders as seen in T. Zebrina pendula. It grows well in normal potting soil and needs regular watering all throughout out summer season while not so much during cold months because it prefers keeping moisture levels stable. In addition to this occasional misting would be ideal; especially when you notice leaf yellowing taking place because that is when humidity becomes most significant but be careful spiderwort has slight toxicity to both humans and animals.

5. Prayer Plant

The distinctive ribbed patterns and singular leaf movement of Maranta leuconeura are what people generally refer to when they mention prayer-plants. Their charming green leaves, with bright markings, beautify any room. They are a little choosy about their care. It is necessary to water them often with warm water to always have moist soil; dry environments do not favor these plants at all. An office without too much sunlight but that has warm humid air would be ideal for them since they don’t like air conditioners. Compact as they are, prayer plants can grow between 6-12 inches and hence fit well into tight spots where individuals are looking forward to increasing the foliage cover.
