How Aralia Plants Can Benefit Your Office Space

Making a productive and healthy workplace is more crucial than ever in the fast-paced and stressful workplace of today. The simple addition of plants to your workspace is one easy method to accomplish this. Aralia plants stand out as a top choice among the many plants that may be employed in an office setting. We'll go over the various advantages of adding Aralia plants to your workplace space in this article, along with how to take care of and maintain them.


What are Aralia Plants?

A species of blooming plants known as aralia is indigenous to Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Because they can survive in low-light environments and come in a variety of sizes and shapes, they are frequently grown as indoor plants. The Ming Aralia, Balfour Aralia, and Dinner Plate Aralia are a few of the Aralia plant varieties that are most in demand.

What are the Benefits of Having Aralia Plants in an Office Space?

The ability of Aralia plants to enhance air quality is one of their key advantages when used in offices. Due to the usage of synthetic materials and cleaning products, formaldehyde and benzene can be found in office environments. Aralia plants are well known for their capacity to remove these poisons from the air. Aralia plants have also been demonstrated to lower workplace stress levels, which can boost productivity and employee happiness.

How Do Aralia Plants Improve Air Quality and Reduce Stress in the Workplace?

Aralia plants improve air quality by absorbing harmful chemicals through their leaves and roots. They subsequently transform these toxins into unharmful elements that the plant can utilize as nutrition. This procedure, known as phytoremediation, can contribute to making the workplace healthier and more comfortable for workers.

Aralia plants have been demonstrated to lower stress levels in the workplace in addition to enhancing air quality. Simply being around plants has been shown to help lower blood pressure and ease anxiety, according to studies. This might result in a more laid-back and effective workplace.

What are the different types of Aralia plants that are suitable for an office environment?

There are several types of Aralia plants that are suitable for an office environment, including:
  • Dwarf Umbrella Tree (Schefflera arboricola): A small, compact plant with shiny leaves that can tolerate low light and dry air.
  • Balfour Aralia (Polyscias balfouriana): A bushy plant with variegated leaves that can grow up to 8 feet tall.
  • Ming Aralia (Polyscias fruticosa): A small tree with glossy leaves that can grow up to 6 feet tall.
  • False Aralia (Dizygotheca elegantissima): A bushy plant with delicate leaves that can grow up to 6 feet tall.

How to Care for and Maintain Aralia Plants in an Office Setting

Now that you know the benefits of Aralia plants, let's talk about how to care for and maintain them in an office setting. Here are a few tips:

1. Lighting
Choose a location near a window that doesn't receive direct sunlight as aralia plants enjoy bright, indirect light. You can also use artificial grow lights to provide your plants the appropriate light if your office doesn't get a lot of natural light.

2. Watering
Aralia plants prefer to have continuous moisture, but not standing water. Once a week, or whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, water your plants. To avoid overwatering, choose a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.

3. Humidity
Consider putting a tiny humidifier close to your aralia plants to maintain a high humidity level. As an alternative, you can shower your plants every few days with a spray bottle.

4. Fertilizer
During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize your Aralia plants once a month with a balanced fertilizer. To avoid overfertilizing, be sure to carefully follow the recommendations on the fertilizer package.


Best Practices for Integrating Aralia Plants into an Office Space

  1. Choose the Right Location: Aralia plants need bright, indirect light to thrive, therefore it's critical to pick a site that offers enough sunlight without subjecting the plant to direct sunlight. Aralia plants do best in an office setting when placed close to a window or under artificial lighting.
  2. Watering and Soil: Aralia plants don't like to sit in standing water; instead, they want to be kept just a little moist. It's crucial to pick a pot with good drainage and to let the soil become just a little bit dry before watering. Aralia plants do best with weekly watering in an office setting.
  3. Temperature and Humidity: Aralia plants prefer humidity levels between 40 and 50 percent and temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Aralia plants should not be exposed to chilly winds or hot, dry air from heating and air conditioning systems in an office setting.
  4. Maintenance and Pruning: Aralia plants just need the occasional pruning to keep their size and shape under control, but they don't require much upkeep overall. In order to stop the spread of disease, it's also critical to remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
Aralia plants have many advantages for workplaces, including increasing productivity and enhancing the look and feel of the room. Businesses may create a healthier and more sustainable work environment that benefits both their employees and their bottom line by adhering to the best practices for integrating Aralia plants into an office setting. Consider bringing an Aralia plant into your office right away to get the rewards.
