Plant Of The Month

Orchids (Orchidaceae family) are the largest and most diverse of the flowering plant (Angiospermae) families, with over 800 described genera and 25,000 species. Some sources give 30,000 species, but the exact number is unknown since classification differs greatly in the academic world. There are another 100,000 hybrids and cultivars produced by horticulturists, created since the introduction of tropical species in the 19th century. The Kew World Checklist of Orchids includes about 24,000 accepted species. About 800 new species are added each year. Orchids, through their interactions with pollinators and their symbiosis with orchid mycorrhizal fungi, are considered by some, along with the grasses, to be examples of the most advanced (derived) floral evolution known.

Let us make your home or business come ALIVE with LIVE plants!

Productivity

Plants have been shown to enhance productivity by 12% while reducing the mounting problem of workplace stress. Additionally, plants can reduce busy office noise, lessening the frequency of workplace distractions.

Employee Retention

Studies from Oxford University indicate that plants have positive effects on employee perceptions and dispositions, which may lead to increased employee retention.

Cleaner Air, Healthier Environment

Plant filled rooms contain 50% to 60% fewer airborn molds and bacteria than rooms without plants. By cleaning workplace air, plants can significantly reduce sick leave expenses.

Improved Corporate Image

While indoor plants cost less than most alternative corporate decorating choices, they offer a guarantee of positively enhancing perception and corporate image.
