If you’re looking for ways to brighten up your business ready for summer, then hanging plants could be the right move for you. Hanging plants add colour and life, providing a welcoming, attractive feature both inside and outside of your business. 

Best of all, hanging plants are affordable, especially if you choose artificial flowers and plants. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to transform your business, take a look at our simple guide to hanging plants and get ready to add a little greenery this summer. 

The benefits of hanging plants in business and corporate spaces 

Adding some greenery to your business has a lot of benefits that can give your business a boost. Some of the main benefits of hanging plants and baskets include: 

 

Increased productivity 

Plans are a simple and effective way to create healthier and happier workplaces. There is a lot of research on the impact plants can have on productivity, helping to bring happiness and comfort, which can both have an impact on a person’s performance at work. 

 

Better air quality

Plants can improve air quality, working as a natural air purifier. If you want a cost-effective way to improve the air in your office, plants such as chrysanthemums are a great way to start. 

 

Reduced stress levels 

Some studies have shown the impact of having plants in the office to help reduce stress levels. Keeping and maintaining plants in the office was found to reduce heart rate and blood pressure to help keep people feeling soothed and more relaxed.  

 

With spending time outdoors and in green spaces also having an impact on stress levels, bringing some plants into your office can be a great way to bring the outside in. 

 

Help make your business more inviting

Adding hanging baskets or plants to your business premises is a simple way to make your business look more appealing. If foot traffic is important to your business, having some plants outside could be an effective way to draw people in. 

 

Not only that, but plants make a stylish addition to many business types including restaurants, cafes and bars – helping to add a little ‘wow’ factor that will make your business a top spot for people to check out.  

 

An affordable way to dress your space

When budgets are tight, redecorating your space may be the last thing on your mind. However, adding simple plants like hanging plants are an excellent way for you to dress up your business affordably. If you choose outdoor artificial hanging plants, you can expect to save money on their maintenance, giving you a long-lasting solution to spruce up your décor. 

 

You could also make your own hanging baskets as a way to reduce your costs even more. 

 

Types of hanging plants

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to hanging plants for your business. Summer hanging baskets are bright and colourful, giving you some beautiful displays to bring a fresh look to your business. You can also look at some greener options to create a more neutral, natural look that will blend in with your existing décor.   

 

Using hanging plants to better effect throughout your location 

Hanging plants are very versatile, making them easy to display inside and outside of your home. Some ideas to consider to help use hanging plants effectively throughout your business include: 

 

• Add traditional hanging baskets to create a simple but colourful look for your business. They are perfect to hang out the front of shops, cafes, pubs – anywhere you want to make look more welcoming with some outdoor greenery. 
• Use hanging plants that can help you make the most of the space you have. Some plants are better suited to hanging displays than others, and you can play around with using pedestals or hanging them from the ceiling to create different looks.  
• Create statement ceiling displays to add some interest to your space. The bigger the better to create some dramatic looks. Make the most of features such as beams, staircases and shelves to help you plan where to place your hanging plants. 

 

How to maintain your hanging plants 

Different types of hanging plants will need different types of maintenance. To keep hanging baskets healthy, they'll need regular watering and feeding to help them look their best this summer. You may also need to deadhead some plants or remove any that have perished to keep them looking fresh. 

Indoor plants should be placed near windows to help them get some natural sunlight, and watered regularly to keep them hydrated. There are some pests that thrive on indoor plants, so you should monitor them regularly and use pest deterrents where possible. 

The easiest way to maintain hanging plants is to use fake hanging flowers and plants. These require little maintenance besides some dusting and occasional cleaning, making them a perfect low-maintenance option for people who don’t have the time and resources to take care of their plants. 

Alternatively, using a managed plant service can help you keep your hanging plants and baskets in check. At phs Greenleaf, we provide a service that feeds and waters plants on your behalf, ensuring your plants are always carefully maintained. A professional touch can help keep your business looking its best without any additional effort from you.
