POLOKWANE – The breakfast was held firstly to show the premises and what it offers, as well as to inform staff on different types of plants that can be used in the reception area, waiting room and consultation rooms.
Lizzy Altenroxel, owner of Greener Tidings, spoke about the benefits of having plants in the office.
“When you have green plants inside the office, it will calm you down and serves as natural beautiful decor. Plants reduce toxins and eliminate asthma and sinusitis.”
She explained how some plants need little water and can be stationed anywhere in the building.
When a plant gets too big for the office, you can replant it in the garden.
“Before you buy a plant, read its label. Most indoor plants can be planted outside in the shade. Some plants need lots of light while others do not. You can use your finger to feel if the soil is still wet or if it needs water. It is preferable to use organic feeding and to clean the leaves. Cleaning can be done with a cloth and little milk, a special spray or mineral oil.”
