Not all of us are creative geniuses who can visualize a room and all decorative items necessary. Unfortunately, we need a lot of help in this department, and what’s more, there are some of us who do not have green thumbs meaning that we cannot keep a simple plant alive. If you fall into this group of people, don’t worry, we have found one that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, but that will at the same time enrich the space around you.
When it comes to decorating the office, one has to be really careful. You don’t want to overdo it and seem unprofessional. On the other hand, this space is often quite small with fluorescent lights and dry air which are not good conditions for many plants. Because of this, our recommendation is to opt for a cactus. We are going to tell you about some types you can incorporate into your office, but if you want to learn more about them, see more here.
African Milk Tree or Euphorbia trigona is a type of cacti that will grow without any extra care. All you have to do is to plant it in a pot with good drainage and water it twice a month. Even though it can grow up to 8 feet tall, when kept indoors it is unlikely that it will pass 4 feet. It is also known as the cathedral plant and it prefers full sun exposure.
If you want to possess something unique, that will draw the attention of your colleagues and clients, then you should go with Old Lady Cactus. This plant can grow up to 20 inches broad and 10 inches wide and it is covered with white spines and hair. It also features pink or red flowers that appear in spring and summer and can form a full circle. When it comes to caring about this plant, it has to be water every two weeks during summer and once a month during winter.
Furthermore, if you want some equally extraordinary, but with a smooth surface, you should consider getting Christmas cactus. The thing that makes this plant so beautiful and appealing is its flowers that come in red, orange, pink, and white. Since it is native to the Brazilian rainforest, this is not your typical cactus. In order to enjoy the sight of those colorful flowers, you have to water this plant regularly and also expose it to the moderate light.
On the other note, if you want something simple, go and buy the Bishop’s Cap. This is one of the favorite indoor plants because it requires almost no care. All it needs it’s a bit of light and occasional watering. Each cactus is a perfect five-pointed star that frequently develops silvery coating which may seem like a disease, but it is actually the plant’s protective mechanism from the sunlight. Its yellow flowers bloom in the spring and they can last for quite some time.
All in all, in this article we have mentioned four species of cacti that you can include into your office decor. You can learn more about different types of this plant, but in the end, it all comes down to your personal preference.
