An Analysis of Plants Suitable for Growing on an Office Desk

If you often stay in the office, you will feel tired, but a casual glance at a green plant instantly dispels the weariness. This is the charm of green plants. What kinds of plants are suitable for placing on an office desk? Can they be placed casually? In fact, green plants on an office desk also involve some particular considerations. Below, let the editor give you a detailed understanding of plants suitable for growing on an office desk.

1. Company employees' desks all face each other, so you can place a few pots of green plants on your own desk, such as the common pothos (Epipremnum aureum), which can relieve eye fatigue.

2. If your office desk faces the boss's office, you can also place a few pots of green plants on the desk (such as Ronghua bamboo), which can serve as a feng shui screen and also relieve the pressure the boss brings you.

3. People with rhinitis should try not to place fragrant plants on their office desks.

4. Because there are many electronic products such as computers in the office, radiation is relatively high, so you can place a pot of aloe on your own office desk, which not only has the effect of preventing radiation but also relieves eye fatigue.

5. If someone smokes in the office, then you can place a pot of spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) on your office desk; this plant has the effect of absorbing nicotine.

6. If the office is relatively enclosed, you can place a pot of hydroponic plant and a pot of golden-centered spider plant on your office desk. The combination of the two plants can be used as an air purifier.

7. For colleagues near the window, if there are utility poles, billboards or similar things outside the window, you can place plants such as cactus and prickly pear on your office desk to block sha.

8. The seat should not directly face a pillar. For a position directly facing a pillar, you can grow a pot of hydroponic Ronghua bamboo on your office desk to prevent the sha rush from the pillar corner against yourself.

9. The office desk should not directly face the restroom. For a seat directly facing the restroom, you can place a large broad-leaf potted plant between the office desk and the restroom. In feng shui, it is said that "what the eye does not see is not sha." You can also place a pot of red plants on the office desk, which can block the sha qi of the toilet.

10. The location of the office desk should avoid having its back to the main entrance or leaning against a window. If it happens to have its back to the main entrance or lean against a window, you can place a pot of large-leaf plant between the back of the office chair and the door or wall as a backing, so that you will not feel uneasy.

Everyone is reminded that the placement of the office desk had best not be exposed to direct sunlight. Frequent sun exposure will cause the furniture's paint film to fade, metal fittings to oxidize and deteriorate, and wood to become brittle easily. In summer, it is best to use curtains to block sunlight to protect the furniture.
