The modern working world is under pressure: home office, shortage of skilled workers, increasing demands on employee satisfaction and health. Companies that want to make their office future-proof face a surprisingly simple but effective measure: plants.
Because green offices are not only more beautiful – they also make you more productive. Numerous studies prove this. We show how it works and why "rental greenery" is especially worthwhile for companies.
🌿 1. Plants reduce stress and promote well-being
The University of Queensland (Australia) has shown in a widely cited study:
👉 Employees in greened offices feel significantly more comfortable, are more motivated, and experience less stress.
Looking into the greenery activates the parasympathetic nervous system – the part responsible for relaxation. The result: lower pulse rate, less tension, better mood.

🧠 2. Plants promote concentration and performance
A green office is not only good for the feeling but measurably good for the mind.
In a study by Washington State University, employees in planted rooms showed:
- 12% faster response times
- better concentration
- fewer errors
This means: Bringing plants into the office promotes mental performance – without additional technology or tools.

🌬 3. Green air – breathe better, think better
Plants improve indoor air quality. This is no longer a secret – but the strength of this effect is often underestimated. Especially in air-conditioned offices or with poor ventilation, pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, or CO₂ accumulate.
AIRY systems enhance the natural air purification effect of the plant and turn it into a real biological filtration system – completely without electricity, quiet, and sustainable.
The result:
- Less headaches
- Lower illness rate
- Better mental performance through oxygen-rich air

🪴 4. Green offices promote team climate and employee retention
A green environment sends a clear message:
"We take care of you."
In a time when employer branding and employee satisfaction are central success factors, a green office often makes the decisive difference. Those who feel comfortable stay – and recommend the employer further.
Companies with green office design more often report:
- More positive team atmosphere
- Less fluctuation
- More of a 'We' feeling
🤝 5. Conclusion: Rental greenery makes it easy for companies
Anyone thinking now: "Sounds great, but who waters all this?" – there is a simple solution: rental plants with full service.
With systems like AIRY, the office gets:
- Plants with active air purification
- including care and service components
- monthly flexible & tax deductible

✅ Green works. Sustainable. Verifiable.
Whether small teams or open-plan offices – green elements improve the indoor climate, health, and productivity.
Not sometime. But from the first day.
