Sick Building Syndrome

Air pollution indoors is such a common problem that it has its own name, called the "Sick Building Syndrome". The World Health Organization estimates that 30% of office buildings alone worldwide have this problem and a recent report by the EPA states that "almost every building may at some time experience indoor air quality problems". Too many chemicals in the air, and the inability of ventilation systems to eliminate them efficiently cause sick building syndrome. Workers and visitors to these buildings may complain of various health problems, including drowsiness, itchy eyes, sinus congestion, headaches, skin rashes and other allergy-related symptoms. Fortunately plants, professionally maintained, can significantly reduce this problem. Ask us to give you a plan to deal with sick building syndrome in your building!

Did You Know?

We spend an average of 80-90% of our time indoors, according to environmental psychologists. Plants have been shown to significantly reduce the number of airborne microbes that can cause disease or allergies, including bacteria, molds, and mildew.  Smelling a flower odor can help your brain function better, apparently because the scent helps to relax and improve our moods. In recent research, people were able to complete puzzles an average of 17% faster when they were exposed to a flowery odor during the experiment.

We provide guaranteed maintenance on all of our plants, allowing you to simply enjoy your new, worry-free green environment.

Our Maintenance Service Includes:

WATERING - Proper watering techniques are the single most important factor in the vitality and longevityof indoor plants. Watering requirements are seldom routinely predictable. Techniques are influenced by environmental conditions such as light, temperature, humidity levels and soil content. Most plants need watering every 7 - 10 days, however, some varieties should be allowed to dry out between watering. With these factors in mind, our service technician may water each plant differently with each visit, guaranteeing proper plant management. 

CLEANING - Plant foliage is made up of cells, including pores, which act as filters. Dust can collect on the foliage as well as it collects on your furnishings, to the point of clogging the pores that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Cleaning and polishing the foliage is necessary in maintaining a healthy, natural shine on the foliage. Most plant polishes only act as a magnet to attract more dust. Our service technician will clean the foliage on a regular basis, applying the best possible finish without damage to the plant in order to maintain a fresh, healthy appearance. 

TRIMMING - All plants are in a constant process of growing and dying. As the new, healthy growth takes hold, older foliage generally starts to shed or in some instances, show up as leaf burn at the tips of the leaves. Early in the leaf burn stages it is usually unnecessary to remove the entire leaf. At this point, our service technician may trim the older foliage slightly, while maintaining the natural shape of the leaf.

FERTILIZING - Fertilization can promote various aspects of healthy plants and provide them with essential nutrients. Most plants are designated for specific areas by size, so rapid plant growth is not the main objective for fertilizing interior plants. Our fertilizer is formulated to provide proper nutrients designated for maintaining strong cell development and healthy foliage. Our service technician will routinely add fertilizer solution to the watering on a 4 - 6 week schedule.

PRUNING - Pruning of tree type plants is essential for promoting new growth. As older leaves are shed, our service technician will prune out the unproductive areas, stimulating the roots to produce healthy, new growth. All plants grow symmetrically when left to their own production and have a wonderful way of filling in, allowing their foliage to get a maximum of light. Pruning may be necessary to prevent overgrowth in some varieties. Our service technician will determine when pruning is appropriate.

PEST & DISEASE CONTROL - All plants have the potential to develop pest or disease related problems. Our service technicians are trained to spot any suspect conditions at an early stage where treatment is most effective. If any treatment is necessary on location, mists or sprays used are safe for public areas. If plants do not respond to treatment, they will be removed and replaced promptly.
