According to scientists...
Plants are scientifically proven to prevent illness, increase productivity, improve concentration and enhance your mood - so while others are losing their heads with the January blues, you can make sure that yours is right on track to happiness, health and a great day at work. Perhaps you could even provide a potted Phalaenopsis for a particularly perfect pal.
Should you receive any opposition from a colleague, you can knowingly state that Washington State University (no less) recently proved that ‘people working indoors with plants in their line of vision do tasks a staggering 12% faster and can concentrate better than those that don’t’. Or that ‘indoor air pollution contributes to 40% of absenteeism…’
Which pal will you bring to the office?
Take your plant to work day really is a win/win situation for everyone! The only question now is which leafy lovely is going to accompany you into the office? Something strong, bold and eye-catching, or perhaps a slightly more floral touch is required.
Either way, if you need a hand in deciding, give us a twitter shout on @thejoyofplants
