Description: Native to India and Southeast Asia, the Ficus elastica 'Burgundy' is perfect for those looking for a small indoor tree with stunning dark, shiny leaves. In the wild, it grows up to around 200ft tall, and its roots are used in India to form living bridges. It won't do well in low light spaces, so place in bright indirect light. Water to keep soil moist at all times. Ficus elastica is a source of latex that is toxic to the skin, and poisonous if taken internally, so pet-owners and those allergic to latex should be cautious.

What is interior plantscaping and how does it differ from simply having houseplants?

Interior plantscaping is a strategic approach to placing and arranging plants within indoor environments to enhance aesthetics and functionality, focusing on plant types, sizes, and layout to create a cohesive indoor landscape. It goes beyond just adding plants, aiming to improve air quality and overall well-being.

How do I choose the right plants for my office's indoor plant design?

When selecting office plants, consider the lighting conditions, maintenance needs, and available space. Opt for low-light, easy-care plants like pothos or sansevierias for minimal natural light and maintenance. Ensure the plant sizes fit well within the available space.

Can interior plantscaping help improve workplace productivity?

Absolutely. Incorporating plants into the office, known as biophilic design, can boost productivity and reduce stress. Plants contribute to noise reduction, better air quality, and a connection with nature, all of which enhance focus, decrease fatigue, and increase employee satisfaction.
