Why PDI uses new interiorscape designs in our restaurant planters?

New interiorscape design ideas from our PDI design staff.

Instead of just using leafy tropical plants in our restaurant locations, our PDI staff has decided to simplify the look of these indoor planters.

We arrange such plants by using one or two species of plants in a single planter, and not the 5-6 varieties that most of our industry has placed together in the past.

Often, at PDI we plant single species plants in one planter box, repeating the leaf configurations as a single drift effect. This is an outdoor gardening technique used by gardeners of perennial gardens for more of a statement.

Lastly, as these indoor planters illustrate, less leafy tropical plants are used . Succulents, such as escheveria are applied.

Plantscape Designs Inc maintains indoor plants of the above types in the Woburn, Ma business communities.

Because fiddle leaf ficus are in the same family as ficus bejamina, ficus nitida and indian rubber trees, they can be interchanged with all of the above when designing your interiorscapes.

The added advantage of using fiddle leaf ficus is that their leaves do not fall with the changing seasons of autumn and spring.

Coffee grounds can help your indoor office plants.

Coffee grounds have long been used as fertilizer for plants. They can be added to existing or new garden beds. The grounds will run off and keep out ants, garden snails and slugs from your gardening beds.

How grounds benefit plants

Coffee grounds provide plants with many of essential nutrients including magnesium, calcium and nitrogen. Theses nutrients are very beneficial to plants and are often found in fertilizers. The grounds can add a significant amount of acidity to the soil. Blueberries, roses, and gardenias are a few plants known to love acidic soil. Using coffee grounds for other plants may prove to be harmful. Before adding the grounds to any plant research it and learn if acidic soil is preferred.

Other benefits included making the soil easier to till, which is good news if you're no longer a teenager with a strong back. Worms eat coffee grounds and are quite beneficial to have in your garden. The worms spread the nutrients as they travel through the dirt. This aerates the soil, which means more oxygen is provided to the roots. The more oxygen that reaches a plants root the better its health and growth.

How to use

There are different ways of putting the grounds to work in your garden. For example, they may be sprinkled around the base of existing plants. With this method the plant receives a small dose of nitrogen each time it is watered. Piles of coffee grounds can be harmful to the plant, depriving it of oxygen as the grounds clump together.

You may also use them by digging them into the ground around plants. Avoid going deeper than one inch, mixing the soil and coffee carefully than watering the plant.

If you are preparing new beds for planting, use the grounds by tilling them well into the soil. Before planting, water the soil thoroughly, so the nutrients are properly released into the soil.

Diffussion through small pores in your office plants leaves.

The movement of water vapor passing through your office plant leaves is called transpiration. This flow of water vapor goes threw the leafs' small pores, called stomates.

In most office plants the stomates are open during part of the day and close at night. In certain species, such as succulents that grow in the desert, the stomates are open at night when the air is cool, relative humidity is high, and transpiration is low. Therfore you should water them less.

Carbon dioxide is absorbed and converted into organic acids in a process requiring little energy and progressing efficiently in the dark. During the day the stomates are closed, reducing transpiration during the hot dry part of the 24- hour cycle.

Photosynthetic processes then convert the carbon dioxide fixed in organic acids into cardonhydrates and other products of photosynthesis. This food (sugar), your office plants make, becomes your plants nourishment.

This is why PDI carefully waters your office plants so they can chemically function properly to feed themselves and grow healthy.
