Repetitive use of green indoor plant design in Boston's buildings.

Repetitive use of Bamboo Palms in this downtown Boston office building both softens and adds a clean simple design to this buildings entrance.

Prior to this design this building's lobby emitted a cold unfriendly stark feel to incoming customers and employees.
The architect called PDI in to solve this problem, using live green tropical plants.

The repetitive use of six same Bamboos make this design simple but effective.

A more friendly welcoming ambiance greets all visitors.
At Plantscape Designs Inc we are always looking to solve a clients indoor office plant design problems which eventually become a positive opportunity for all parties involved.

Why use pothos plants in your interior landscape?

Pothos : Epipremnum aureum

1. Light Level: High

2. Water Level: Medium

Pothos is a very common foliage plant. Planterra uses mostly ‘Jade,’ ‘Marble Queen,’ ‘Neon,’ and ‘Golden’ varieties. They look great in hanging baskets, tabletop bowls, and as ground cover. With the proper care, they are durable, long-lasting plants.

3. Country of Origin

Southeast Asia

4. Maintenance Tips

With variegated varieties, leaf color will fade if light is too low.

Do not allow plant to sit in a saucer of water. Does very well with sippers or capillary mats.

Prune often to maintain fluffy, rounded shape growing from the center of the planter.

5. Pests and Problems

Rhizoctonia is a fungal pathogen which causes a disease with symptoms characterized as a root rot as well as an aerial blight. The entire plant and soil surface may be effected by rusty-colored minute filaments (the fungal body).

Scherotium rolfsi, also known as Southern blight, is a white cotton-like fungus, complete with an spore-like objects, on the soil surface and the stem at the soil line. The stem rots and the plant collapses.

6. Mealybug, scale, mites and Thrips.

At Plantscape Designs Inc. Boston, MA. ,we use biological predatory "cryps" Crytosantous to eradicate white fussy mealybugs . Parasitic "lace wings" are used to eliminate scale. Finally predatory mites are used to combat spider mites that feed off your indoor office plant pothos.

Why Does Plantscape Designs Use Warnikis, Neanthe Bella Palms and ZZ Plants?

Fresh Warnikis, ZZ Plants and Neanthe Bella Palms have arrived at our Route 128 warehouse. These low light loving plants soften your office work place cubicles and open areas. The options are unlimited.

Warneckii, Lemon-Lime

Dracaena deremensis

Light Level: Medium

Water Level: Medium

Dracaena deremensis cv. ‘Warneckii’ has stiff, tapered leaves with gray, green and white stripes. ‘Lemon Lime’ is a ‘Warneckii’ cultivar with more yellow and green stripes.

Country of Origin

Africa and Asia

Maintenance Tips

When D. deremensis fertility is too low or when the plant is over watered, it may develop weak color and narrow strappy leaves. Lack of phosphorus can cause a severe dieback in the middle and older foliage. Iron deficiency is common and results in severe interveinal chlorosis.

If you gently grab the third leaf back from the growing tip during the middle of the day and hold it lightly in your hand, you may be able to feel the leaf’s heat. If you can, it probably means the light and temperature are too high. You can mist the plant to reduce its temperature and move it away from the light or heat source.

These plants do well when kept on the dry side. You will find they are often in Hawaiian lava rock potting media, which helps prevent root rot. Do not allow these plants to sit in water.

D. deremensis ‘Warneckii‘ prefer low to medium light.

ZZ Plants :

The Zamioculcas is definitely a -"What’s Up" plant. It fits just about every need of what a new indoor plant introduction should be.

Handles low light

Low water use

Tough under indoor conditions

Handles neglect well

The ZZ has been around for decades.

It is a member of the Aroid family along with the philodendron, spathiphyllum and aglaonema. You would never know it though the cardboard palm, is another Aroid.

The base of the plant stalks are swollen from which the stem host dark green, naturally shiny leaves. It’s easy to think that the plant has had leaf shine put on it. Remember, we don’t recommend leaf shine.

One rule that almost all of the BEST indoor plants have is – they grow slow. The ZZ is no exception. It is easy to propagate but develops slowly. Most of the plants are grown from leaf cuttings just as you would a jade plant.

Plants are grown in 4 inch up through 14 inch pots. Large plants can reach 3 feet in height and I have seen a very old plant of 4 foot. The average height of most of the plants grown is about 16 – 28 inches, and the plant can have a wide spread on it. It works well as an accent plant in areas where it can"spread its wings".

Neanthe Belle is discussed in another article in more detail in our PDI BLOG.

At Plantscape all three above 3' plants can be used under your indoor office logos, artwork or company information photos to highlight their importance.

Where Should Interior Plant Care Designers Use Colorful Plants?

Colorful stromanthe plants have just been stocked, ready to be delivered to your Boston cityscaped high light planter boxes in your office. These colorful leaves add depth and texture to your office windows. PDIPlants uses these colorful botanicals in many of the Boston, Ma office interiorscapes.

Growth of stromanti is also determined by environmental factors, such as temperature, available water, available light, and available nutrients in the soil like other indoor office plants. However, these colorful plants lack the dark green chorophyll and chloroplasts as say a philodendron, thus they need more sunlight. Any change in the availability of these external conditions will be reflected in the plants growth.

Do you know that one of the most popular plants in Europe is the Ficus benjamina

and its many cultivars.

There are many perceptions in the US on Ficus trees with differ from Europe

Ficus drop their leaves

Ficus are short lived in the interior environment

Ficus are uninteresting

Ficus are inexpensive

A Ficus is a Ficus

There is nothing new in Ficus

In fact over 15 years ago Ficus trees accounted for over 11% of all potted plant sales sold and over 60 Ficus varieties were being cultivated commercially.

Now not all Ficus cultivars are superior but some select varieties are indeed superior. Plus we continue to see new selections both unique in color form and growth habit.

This image is of a crop of 14 inch Ficus Benjamina ‘Monique‘ trees grown as ‘corkscrews’. These trees are undergoing the acclimation process getting use to lower light levels soon ready to be a conversation item as a houseplant or in an office.

Ficus Benjamina Monique is more drought tolerant than past benjamina varieties. Learn more on Ficus tree care here.

Ficus trees are one of PDI main staple plants for your Boston cityscape atriums.
