- Find a supplier – preferably wholesale to save money?
- Choose suitable plants – shade loving plants for dark rooms, sun-loving for the northerly facing rooms, etc
- Find a plant supplier – will they deliver to the office without interrupting normal business or will you send someone to pick them up?
- How much water, how often, will you allocate someone to water the plants or create a roster?
- Which pots – colour, style?
- Purchase pots, are they indoor pots or outdoors, there is a big difference.

Sub-Irrigation
All our plants are in planters configured for sub-irrigation. The benefits of this watering method are:
- Sub-irrigation supplies the correct amount of water for indoor plants
- Each planter has a water reservoir that will last at least two weeks
- on each service, it is very easy to determine how much water to give
- waterlogging (which can result is smelly soil) is prevented
- the soil is left open and full of oxygen which is required by the roots.
