New Bromeliad for your indoor officescapes "Athenia" by PDIPlantsBlog.com

1. Long lasting lipstick colored "Athenia"bromeliads grown from our greenhouses to your office plant interiors.

2. Spring comes early every year for Plantscape Designs Inc. and for our Boston office plant customers.

3 .Bromeliads are a varied group of organisms, adapted to a number of climates. Foliage take different shapes, from needle thin to broad and flat, symmetrical to irregular, spiky and soft. The foliage, which usually grows in a rosette, is the most widely patterned and colored of any plant in the world. Leaf colors range from maroon, through shades of green, to gold.

4. Varieties may have leaves with red, yellow, white and cream variegations. Others may be spotted with purple, red, or cream, while others have different colors on the tops and bottoms of the leaves for your plantsboston offices..

5. The inflorescence produced by bromeliads are also regarded as considerably more diverse than any other plant family. Some flower spikes may reach 10 meters tall while others only measure 2–3 mm across. Upright stalks may be branched or simple with spikes retaining their color from two weeks up to twelve months, depending on species. In some species the flower remains unseen, growing deep in the base of the plants. Visit our PDIPLANTSBlog.com for more info.

At Plantscape Designs Inc. we use bromeliads of every color and size in our monthly interiorscape indoor flowering programs within the Waltham, Ma office locations.

A modern contemporary look using Pachira aquatica ( money tree) and river rock.

A new design concept using Pachira aquatica (money tree) and river rock is illustrated here in this photo taken on site within one of our Lexington, MA clients sunlit lobbies. Visit PDIPLANTSBlog.com for more info.

1. The Pachira Tree itself requires high light locations such as this south exposure lobby. The braided trunk of this tree really consists of many smaller trees carefully intertwined around each other, giving this a newer sculptured effect. These green tropical plants are ideal for your Burlington interior office landscapes.

2. The topiary cut or trim of the lower basal leafs exposes this truck so a different design is created instead of an old 80's bushy jungle look in past interiorscape office designs

3. The black polished river rock adds to a clean modern look and feel of this indoor plant design.

4. Finally, the architectural lechuza cubico designer container itself fully displays both the sculptured office plant and the smooth clean river rock almost at eye level.

At PDI we encourage our old and new clients to use these new design aspects for a better display of their interior office plants in Burlington, MA.
