For most people, placing non durable plants in commercial areas can be a total and utter disaster! When you combine harsh conditions like minimal lighting, heavy foot traffic, and fluctuating temperatures – it’s no wonder many plants simply don’t last!
Lucky for you, we’re not like most people – we’re your indoor plant experts! At The Plant Man, we know there’s lots of benefits to having plants in an office or commercial space, which is why we pick tough-as-nails plants that can handle just about anything, even the most demanding settings. With our help, you can transform even the busiest spots into a more vibrant, lush, and welcoming environment.
Speaking of lush, here are our top picks for durable indoor plants and durable outdoor plants that will keep your commercial space looking green and gorgeous!
The Most Resilient Plants – Our Top Choices:
Zanzibar Gem Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The Zanzibar Gem is truly a wonderful plant. With its majestic green stems, smooth and glossy surface, and rich, deep green colour, the Zanzibar Gem plant will make any space look alive.
But this amazing plant isn’t just about looks, it’s also renowned for being the king of low maintenance plants; it thrives in low light and it doesn’t need much watering.
But hey, even the resilient Zanzibar Gem needs a bit of TLC to look its best. Here’s your ultimate guide to Zanzibar Gem care, so you can keep this hardy plant in the best shape ever!
Rubber Fig (Ficus elastic)
The Rubber Fig is another gorgeous-looking plant, with its broad, shiny leaves and deep colour. Tough and adaptable, this green champion can handle anything from low light to bright, and indirect light, making it super versatile.
Rubber Figs can be especially striking when they grow to their full size. In the wild, it can grow up to a whopping 40 metres tall! In your office, it’ll probably max out around 3 metres, which is still very impressive and perfect for adding some spectacular visual drama to a space with high ceilings.
Kentia Palm (Howea Forsteriana)
With its lush, tropical fronds, the Kentia Palm will make a stylishly fresh statement in any space; it’s like the plant equivalent of a tropical vacation in your office! Their compact size and elegant fronds add a splash of green without hogging too much space.
These slow-growing beauties are perfectly happy in low to moderate light, making them incredibly adaptable no matter the indoor setting. Plus, they’re in it for the long haul – living indoors for decades, and even longer if you choose them for your outdoor scenery as well.
Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Snake plants are like the rock stars of the plant world with their sword-shaped leaves and eye-catching patterns, instantly adding a dramatic flair to any space. Snake plants thrive in low light and need minimal water, making them perfect for those who forget to water their plants (The Plant Man doesn’t judge).
They’re not just pretty faces either—they’re air-purifying masters, making your office environment healthier, and definitely a more pleasant place to come to every day. To keep your snake plants looking awesome, just follow a few simple snake plant care steps, and then watch them grow, living their best life!
Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema)
Chinese Evergreens are like the supermodels of the plant world; flaunting exotic foliage in a dazzling array of fashionable colours and variegated patterns. These slow-growing, compact beauties can fit practically anywhere, making them the perfect addition to any nook or cranny, and we reckon they make lovely decor for work desks!
With their high tolerance for low light and minimal watering needs, Chinese Evergreens are so lucky, they can thrive in just about any indoor condition. Even better, they’re generally pest-resistant, making them perfect for busy commercial environments where plant care can sometimes take a backseat to 9-to-5 work.
And let’s not forget, they’re also fantastic air purifiers, working hard to rid your space of pesky toxins. So, if you’re looking for a stylish, low-maintenance plant that keeps your air clean and fresh, make the Chinese Evergreen your go-to green friend!
