Office Plants on Rent in Mumbai

Desk and floor plants that tolerate low humidity and low light, such as ZZ plant, snake plant and the tougher philodendron varieties, last longer on a cooled floor than moisture-loving ferns, which brown at the tips under a vent within weeks.

Reception areas take a hit of humid outside air every time the entrance door opens, so we place hardier foliage close to the lobby and keep the more delicate varieties further inside the floor, where the air stays even through the day.

Planters on floors that face the sea

Towers along the western suburbs and the harbour side pick up a salt-laden breeze that pits and corrodes a plain metal planter frame within a couple of years, so any floor with an open terrace or sea-facing glass gets a powder-coated or fibre-reinforced planter instead of plain steel.

On a large floor plate split between window-side desks and a dim interior core, we split the plant list too, sending light-hungry flowering pots to the windows and shade-tolerant foliage to the core, rather than one uniform list for the whole floor.

Scale across a single large office block

Bandra Kurla Complex alone holds workplaces for more than four lakh people across banks, exchanges and corporate offices, so a rental contract for even one large tower there is planned and stocked differently from a single-floor order in a smaller building.

Replacement stock for a contract of that size is kept ready in advance rather than sourced floor by floor, since a tower with thousands of desks needs a faster turnaround on a declining plant than a smaller office does.
