The Top 4 Office Plants to Inspire Creativity
Keeping a work environment fresh and energized is a challenge, but nature has a leafy solution to workplace lulls. Beyond the well-known health benefits, studies show plants can promote innovation, spark ideas, and help us focus. Here are four plants that inspire creativity at work.
At Léon & George, we have spent nearly a decade greening offices and workspaces across the country, from fast-growing startups to corporate lobbies, so we know which plants actually thrive at work.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig
What is not to love about the sculptural Fiddle Leaf Fig? Its enormous, dramatic foliage and slender trunk bring a sense of wonder, calm, and happiness, simply by gazing at it, making it a favorite statement plant for creative spaces.
The Magenta Triostar
The Magenta Triostar (Stromanthe sanguinea) is a true work of art by nature, with foliage that looks hand-painted in pink, cream, and green. It is no surprise this plant inspires feelings of creativity and growth.
The Dracaena Compacta
Reminiscent of the truffula trees in Dr. Seuss's The Lorax, the Dracaena Compacta has lush emerald foliage and a stylish laddered structure that sparks creativity, all while purifying the air.
The Pilea Peperomioides
The Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides) is one of the best desktop plants for a workspace. Easy to grow and endlessly shareable, its quirky, coin-shaped leaves spark curiosity and conversation on any desk.
