The office entrance

What makes a considerate first impression near an entrance?

4 individually potted plants. Select any photograph to open that plant's existing guide.

Placement and growing conditions

Why this group works here.

Set plants back from door swings and strong outdoor drafts. A pair of taller pots can frame the arrival point while the smaller flowering accents remain inside the more protected growing area. Check seasonal light changes when the entrance is shaded by an awning.

The message behind the grouping

Meaning, with a little thought.

Money tree associations can convey good wishes, and rounded leaves a generous welcome. Neither the display nor the plant name predicts commercial success.

Guiana Chestnut
In this design: good wishes for a new beginning.
A palmately leafed crown gives an upright focal point; the familiar gift association is cultural, not a promise of wealth.
Rubber Tree
In this design: durability and resolve.
Broad glossy leaves offer a strong visual anchor; keep the crown lit from more than one direction.
Broadleaf Lady Palm
In this design: composure and hospitality.
Place the divided fans where they soften an edge without projecting into a walkway.
Dwarf Peace Lily
In this design: a considerate welcome.
White spathes make a light accent against green foliage; check its own mix rather than sharing a watering schedule.

Another place to begin.
