In a working world that increasingly values flexibility, sustainability, and employee well-being, green work environments are gaining importance. Plants in the office are long more than just decoration – they promote well-being, increase productivity, and emphasize a company's environmental awareness. However, not every company has the resources or know-how to take care of plant maintenance. Here, renting plants offers an attractive solution.
Why rent plants?
Renting plants allows companies to equip their offices with green plants without having to worry about acquisition costs, maintenance, or replacement. Professional providers take care of the selection, delivery, regular care, and replacement of the plants when needed. This saves time and resources and ensures that the plants in the office are always well-maintained.
Costs: How much does it cost to rent plants for the office?
The costs for rental plants vary depending on the provider, plant type, size, and scope of service. Here are some examples:
- Indoor greening providers offer solitary plants with containers and maintenance service starting at €14.50 per month. These are usually so-called Hydroponics.
- Other providers rely on subscription models that are based not directly on the number of plants, but on the room size. For example, there are offers for offices up to 150 m² starting at €200 per month, including an individual concept and maintenance.
Advantages for companies
- Improved indoor air quality
Plants filter pollutants and increase humidity. However, in normal plant pots or hydroponics, this performance is very low. Only when the root system is aerated, as in the AIRY systems, can the full potential of the plant be utilized. - Lower maintenance effort
The full service saves time and internal resources. There are significant differences between the systems used. For example, hydroponic cultures are very labor-intensive and can only be maintained by specialized personnel, whereas plant pots with a water tank are much easier to care for. - Flexibility
Rental plants can be adjusted or replaced as needed. - Professional appearance
Greened offices appear inviting and modern. They also promote the well-being and vitality of the people who spend time in these spaces.
Tax aspects: Are rental plants deductible?
Yes, rental plants are considered business expenses and can be claimed for tax purposes. The prerequisite is that they are located in rooms used for business purposes. Lexware confirms that rental and leasing costs are deductible.
Rental plants are a smart solution for modern offices
Renting plants offers companies a flexible, cost-efficient, and tax-advantageous way to improve their work environment. With minimal effort, offices can be greened – a benefit for well-being, health, and the company's image.
