Philodendron - A Versatile Plant For Your Office
Philodendron oxycardium, heart leaved Philodendron, has been a staple in the foliage plant industry with unlimited uses. It works beautifully to enhance your office space as a hanging plant, desk plant or a floor plant when trained on a support. Some of the creative uses are when it is used in dish gardens, terrariums or groundcover in large architectural planters.
This Philodendron also has an interesting past. First collected in the West Indies in 1793 by Captain William Bligh, yes, the Captain Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty, and returned to England where it has graced homes and offices around the world since. We currently use these in many of our Cambridge Ma. office locations.

Why use opuntia cacti in your office plantscapes?
Indoors, Opuntia cactus can be grown in pots but they generally don't grow to more than a few feet tall. They do best in full sunlight with very little water. No cacti likes to be over watered and they will rot if they remain in saturated soil. Water sparingly and improve soil drainage in areas that receive a lot of rain. My cactus lets me know when it needs water with thin pads and droopy tips. One year we got over 20 inches of rain and the pads swelled up with so much moisture they broke off under their own weight.

Why use Hawiian Michiko Canes and not Florida cane in your indoor office environments?
Dracaena michiko is one of the world’s most sought-after dracaena hybrids. This fabulous plant is importer from Hawaii and is commonly known as Michiko cane because of its cane-like structure caused by its upright growth habit. The leaves of this plant are held tighter to its trunks. This makes the plant a perfect plant to be put in narrow or tight areas or rooms with limited available space.
Compared to Dracaena Michiko plants grown in Florida, Dracaena Michiko Hawaii have greater life expectancy because of their well-developed root systems. The large size plus a full-grown look would surely mean lower expenses to be spent on pots or decorative containers. In addition, most Dracaena Michiko plants grown from Hawaii are tall and upright or columnar thereby making them excellent choices for places with limited space or area. These reasons and more explain why Hawaii-grown Dracaena Michiko plants are more expensive than those grown in Florida.
At Plantscape designs Inc. the Michiko canes are currently being used in our downtown Boston, Ma. officescapes.

Why use bamboo fiber pots in your Boston cityscapes?
Bamboo is one of the most rapidly growing plants on earth. It is a grass, not a wood, making it a non timber, non-fossil fuel resource. And while hardwood forests can take 20-25 years to mature, bamboo forests mature 4-6 years after being harvested. This is why the U.S.Green Building Council has designated bamboo as a rapidly renewable material.
