Whether it's a commercial, a series set, or a feature film – plants on set act like little magic tricks: they bring naturalness, depth, and atmosphere to every scene. But the reality behind the scenes? It often looks quite different: wilted leaves, dirt on the studio floor, last-minute watering stress.
That is why more and more production companies are opting for a smart solution: rental plants – optimized for the filming routine.
🌿 Why rental plants are ideal for film sets
Production teams work under time pressure, with changing locations and a lot of technology. Plants need to be easy to care for, robust, and reliably beautiful – even under artificial light, drafts, or changing temperatures.
Rental plants offer just that:
- Flexibility: For a few days or several weeks
- Immediate effect: Delivery fully arranged, ready to shoot immediately
- No maintenance required: No watering, no fertilizing, no repotting
- Professional look: Healthy, symmetrically grown, stylishly topped
✅ What makes rental plants so special for film productions
1. No stress with watering – really not
The plant systems used are specifically designed to remain stable even over several days of rotation, without anyone having to reach for the watering can. This is made possible by a well-thought-out ventilation and root system that constantly supplies the plants with everything they need – even in heat from the light or drafts from open doors.
Ideal for productions where plants are not the focus – but still need to look perfect.
2. No dirt, no mold, no surprises
Soil on studio floors? Living beings in potting soil? Not with professional rental plants: Here, hydroponic or soil-less systems are used, which remain clean – and do so without any chemicals or pesticides.
Also important: The roots are firmly embedded in the pot. Even if the pot shifts during the excitement of the turn – nothing crumbles, nothing tips over, nothing drips.
3. Stable & transport-friendly
Whether in the studio or on location – rental plants for filming are prepared in such a way that they do not suffer during transport and do not wobble on set. The pots are stable, the plants are well anchored, and the substrate does not shift.
Just set it up – shoot the scene – move on – done.
4. Optically versatile & quickly replaceable
Whether jungle feeling, urban loft look, or cozy family kitchen: There are suitable rental plants for every style – from Monstera to Sansevieria to the room palm. And if a different plant is needed at short notice? Exchange is usually possible on the same or next day.
🎥 Who rental plants are particularly suitable for
- Film and television productions
- Werbedrehs
- Photo shoots
- Social Media Productions
- Showrooms & temporary setups
Rental plants are particularly popular where things need to be done quickly – but everything should look like it has "high-end production value."
💡 Conclusion: Rental plants bring the set to life – without drama in the background
Those who rely on lively props during filming need plants that perform reliably. Rental plants are the stress-free solution: always green, always ready – completely without maintenance effort or risk of failure.
Whether it's a day or an entire shooting block – it has never been easier to create atmosphere with plants.
