The importance of a green workspace

Adding greenery to your workspace yields immediate positive effects. Some plants, in fact, help improve air quality by absorbing harmful substances and releasing oxygen. This can alleviate headaches, fatigue, and respiratory irritation.

 

 

Moreover, gazing at greenery has a calming effect and can contribute to stress reduction. Studies have demonstrated that employees in a green environment generally feel happier and more content.

 

 

Orchids are ideal for a workspace because they are easy to care for and long-lasting. With minimal effort, you can enjoy them for years!

An important step in keeping your orchid in bloom for as long as possible is watering. Remove the orchid from its decorative pot and place it in a container of water for 5 – 10 minutes, allowing the roots to absorb the water. Remove the orchid, let it drain, and then place it back in the decorative pot. Ideally, do this once a week.

 

 

And hey, look at the difference orchids can make in a workspace. In addition to all the aforementioned benefits, plants add ambiance and inject colour into a space.

Create a cozy & comfortable home office with orchids

Whether you have a dedicated home office or a small workspace at your disposal, the possibilities are endless. After all, plants come in all shapes and sizes! For instance, two Brassia orchids on your desk work wonders. With their unique structure and narrow, slightly curling ribbon leaves, these orchids are truly captivating. An added benefit: they have a delightful fragrance.

 

 

A pop of colour

What makes orchids special is that they bloom all year round. Most orchid species bloom for about six to ten weeks, followed by a period of rest and then another blooming phase. This makes orchids ideal for brightening up your home office: you can enjoy them year-round!

Below, you can see the Phalaenopsis, the most well-known orchid species. Due to the shape of its flowers, this species is also known as the “Butterfly Orchid.” They come in various colours, adding a pop of colour to your home office!

 

 

The scent of orchids

When working from home, it can be challenging to separate your personal life from work. Scents can help with this. Choose a fragrance for your home office that energizes and enhances concentration. It should be a different scent from the rest of the house, to make a clear distinction. For example, you can create a home spray with fragrant orchids. Not only does it smell delightful, but it also adds a charming touch to your workspace!

Houseplants can help purify the air, provide more concentration, focus and productivity. They’re a must for a home office!

A Scandinavian home office

Currently, a Scandinavian home office style is very popular. And since this mainly consists of a lot of natural light, soft colours and natural materials, it’s not strange at all. Because a calm environment ensures that you can get to work without distractions. In addition, with such a calm base you can easily add a colour or item that makes you happy. For example an orchid in your favorite colour!

 

A plant shelf

Whether you have a separate room as a home office or a small desk in the living room or bedroom: plants come in all shapes and sizes. So there’s always something that fits! For example, hang a shelf above your desk and fill it with orchids. Not only does this look cool, it’s also beneficial for your health. Because the more greenery in the house, the better the air quality!

 

 

No room for a shelf full of plants? Then hang a few plants with a plant hanger.

 

 

Use orchids as a room divider

Do you share your home office with someone else or is your desk placed in the living room? Then use a large plant or place a number of orchids together as a room divider. This way you divide a room in two and you have a little more privacy. The leaves still let in enough daylight, so it won’t get harsh.
