Interior Plantscaping

Plantscaping may sound like a made-up word someone created to distinguish the field from landscaping, but we promise, there’s a reason for the choice! While interior plantscaping and landscaping may seem similar on the surface, as they both deal with plants, the two fields have entirely different focuses.

Interior plantscaping is an all-encompassing term that refers to the arrangement, integration, and maintenance of plants inside and immediately around a building. While it is also called interior landscaping, interior plantscaping fundamentally differs from landscaping, which focuses on plants’ integration with each other and exterior elements in an outdoor space.

 

Interior Plantscaping Has a Lot of Benefits:

  • Cleaner air–plants are natural air purifiers, processing the toxins in the air and putting out clean CO

  • Mood boosters–having a space with plants promotes a good vibe for any space

  • Mold reduction–plants can naturally decrease harmful mold

  • Increased sales– plants encourage sales in a retail space.

  • Increased productivity–when plants are used in the workspace, employees have a reprieve from technology, allowing them to reset and recharge

  • Employee retention–employees that work in a biodiverse environment tend to be happier, leading to employee retention

  • Cost-effective–with the right plants, a bold visual impact can be achieved more economically than with new furniture or architectural elements

  • Adds curb appeal–in temperate climates, potted plants and trees can completely revive a tired exterior

 

There are Three Main Steps in the Design, Selection, and Installation of Your Interior Plantscaping:

 

·       Design: Interior plantscaping design focuses much more on architecture and interior design, analyzing how certain plants and containers will fit in with a concept based on the angles, horizons, colors, and focal points of the installation. While it may seem simple, choosing the plant with the right color combination, textures, and care needs for the application is difficult and often overlaps with the next phase of plantscaping.

·       Selection: Interior plantscaping plant selection is essential for design and installation. Selecting the right plant will affect both the design's success and the long-term success of the installation. Any chosen plant must not only fit the aesthetic needs of the design but also be able to tolerate the conditions where they are planted, from the soil composition and light exposure to the watering schedule and air conditions. We don’t want the plants to outgrow the application, so the plant must meet specific size requirements.

·       Installation: The final step of interior plantscaping is installation, which often includes providing continuing care for the plants. All the plants in the installation are placed in the appropriate containers and conditions according to their needs, with proper care and watering to ensure the success and health of the plant.

 

We welcome your questions regarding indoor plants and their health benefits. We also can provide indoor plants for a variety of lighting conditions.
