Plants are known for improving office morale while relieving stress, and they also contribute to the decor. If you enjoy having fresh plants in the office but do not have the time to properly maintain them, you may consider using an office plants rental service. Before you choose the best one for your needs, you should find out what kind of selection is available, because you will want plants that are the right size and style for the room. You also should find out what is included in the price, such as delivery, maintenance and tax. In addition, it's a good idea to make sure the process is simple for you, because renting office plants should not be a stressful task.

When you are considering office plants rental, the first thing to think about is whether you can get the vegetation you want. Make sure the company you are considering has a wide range of plants to choose from, because some of the best office plant businesses offer a large variety and constantly get more to add to their collection. It's a good idea to make sure you have access to several large plants, if you have a larger space to fill, and petite plants for smaller areas. You also may want to think about the style of the room before choosing a plant, because the rest of the room's decor will determine whether you need tropical foliage, something more appropriate for a desert, or something in between.

Another detail to consider when choosing office plants rental is whether the price includes everything you need or just the plants. For example, you may want to make sure you are allowed to switch out some plants at no extra charge if you decide you do not like them, and that you can get replacements for any that die right away. You also should find out if the total cost includes maintenance services, unless you have the time to water and prune each plant on your own. You also may want to be sure the business will deliver the plants, so you do not have to take the time to pick them up. Finally, the price you are quoted for the rental should include both taxes and containers that will look nice in your office, so you aren't surprised later to find additional charges on your bill.

The point of office plants rental is to make it easy to have fresh foliage in your work environment, so plant companies that require a lot from you may not work. For example, many have websites that allow you to choose the plants you want so you do not have to visit the nursery. Some office plants rental companies also appoint an employee to help you choose the best vegetation for your office based on the space and current decor, so you do not have to do it on your own. This can save you time and tends to make the task seem simpler than usual.
