Healthy office greenery thanks to regular maintenance
Greenery that keeps looking good over time
How regular plant care works in offices and commercial spaces: from setting the right service frequency to condition checks, pest control and plant replacement.
Why plant care should not be underestimated
As the colder part of the year arrives, attention shifts from greening terraces to interiors, offices and other commercial spaces. But the installation itself is just the beginning. For plants to stay healthy and for the space to keep looking its best over the long term, they need ongoing, properly planned care.
Looking after a company’s greenery often falls to someone on the team who has no professional plant expertise. Professional plantings may also use a hydroponic potting mix, which holds moisture differently from ordinary soil. So when watering, it is important to consider not only the surface of the potting mix, but also the specific plant species, its condition and how long it has been since the last watering.
That is exactly why we offer businesses regular plant service. We help clients hand plant care over to experts and free up their time for their own work.
When the service makes sense
Companies use the service when they have no one in-house to care for their greenery, want their plants under expert supervision or do not want to leave the day-to-day responsibility to their employees. We also service plants that we did not supply ourselves, but first we check their condition and assess whether they need repotting or other work.
01 / Setting up the service
How often do we care for the plants?
The service frequency affects not only the price and scope of each visit, but also how well we can respond to changes in the plants’ health.
Weekly service: ongoing checks and care
Weekly service is the most popular option. We set a regular time slot with the client, and our technician comes to the space on the same day and at the same time. By prior arrangement, visits can also be scheduled before or after working hours; this option comes at an extra charge.
Regular visits give us an overview of how the plants are developing, so we can catch changes early and keep adjusting care to their current condition. With long-term plant rental, the service is part of the package and the plants remain our property.
Monthly service: the upkeep option
During a monthly visit, we water the plants, clean the leaves, remove yellow or damaged parts and check their overall condition. If a plant is not doing well, we let you know and can suggest a replacement.
This option is especially suitable for companies that have an employee of their own who handles routine care and need expert checks and maintenance from us once a month. Because the plants are not in our care between visits, we cannot guarantee replacement with this option.

One-time maintenance: when your greenery needs to be put back in shape
If the plants need a one-time intervention, we come to clean and trim them, treat them for pests, replace the potting mix or repot them into larger planters. The solution may also include proposing a more suitable planter to match the character of the interior. We agree on the scope of the work and the date in advance.
Not sure which frequency to choose?
We will help you pick one based on the number of plants, their condition, the type of planting and what your team can handle.
02 / How a visit works
What happens during regular service?
Every visit follows a set procedure. This lets us evaluate care on an ongoing basis and respond to what the plants need at the moment.
01
Preparation and watering
The technician prepares the water and adds fertilizer to it from spring to fall. Watering is always adjusted to the current condition of the plants.
02
Documentation and checks
We photograph the plants so we can track how they develop over time. We check their overall condition and inspect the leaves for pests or signs of decline.
03
Cleaning and treatment
We remove yellow and damaged leaves, clean the foliage and treat the plants for pests as needed. We choose the treatment based on the type of pest and the specific plant.
04
Ongoing evaluation
If a plant has been struggling for a long time and no longer looks its best, we propose replacing it. It usually takes one to two weeks from the replacement order to the new plant going in.
Why plant care should not be split among several people
Even well-meant extra watering can harm a plant. If someone else also tends the plants between visits, this can lead to overwatering or disrupt the set routine.
In that case, we have to adjust the care temporarily, for example by reducing watering and monitoring the plant over the next visits. That is why we recommend having a clearly defined care routine, with everyone in the space knowing who is responsible for it.
A standard visit takes about 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the size of the space, the number of planted containers and how demanding the care is. For some clients, we also regularly swap in fresh flowering plants at reception, usually every other week.
03 / The long-term result
Greenery that stays part of the space
Today, plants are a natural part of offices, reception areas and other commercial interiors. But for them to fulfill their aesthetic role over the long term, choosing and planting them well is not enough. They need suitable conditions, regular checks and care that suits the specific species and the way they are planted.
Regular service lets us track how the plants develop, catch problems early and keep the planting in good condition. If a plant can no longer be brought back to its best, we propose a replacement so that the whole arrangement keeps working both aesthetically and practically.
We care for plants that are part of our own projects as well as greenery you already have at your company. For existing plants, we first carry out a check, assess their condition and recommend the next steps.
