In the Office
1. Flies – please do not tip tea or coffee into the plant containers. This is the most common cause of Sciarid fly infestation as they feed on the sugars in the compost.

2. Watering – please do not water the plants as this is carried out by our maintenance team.

3. Movement – please do not relocate your plants to another floor or area. We select plants to suit the light levels in their immediate environment.

4. Temperature – a drop in temperature to below 12°C can result in plant loss.

5. Stress – It is proven that plants can reduce stress in the workplace. For more information please go to Benefits of Plants.

At Home
1. Compost – use peat free soil for all houseplants to help the environment.

2. Over-watering – this is the most common cause of plant loss in the home, especially throughout the winter months.

3. Pruning – prune your houseplants regularly to encourage bushiness and prevent them from becoming tall and leggy.

4. Holidays – remember that your plants will need warmth and water if you are away for any length of time.

5. Light – if your plant has pale or variegated leaves it is better placed near a window. The darker the leaf the less light is required.
