Hiring versus buying plants


A common dilemma facing many companies  . . . .

              Hiring versus Buying

 



PLANT HIRE VERSUS PLANT BUY?

One fact that should be considered when making this decision, is that while healthy, clean and vibrant plants have both physical and psychological benefits to people . . . . Diseased and dying plants have the reverse effect
  • Productivity
When company employees are responsible for purchasing, cleaning, watering and pruning their own plants, they are effectively not performing the job that the company has employed and paying them to do.
  •   Costs
Apart from the loss of productivity, the company purchasing the plants will need to invest in waterproof decorative containers plus servicing equipment such as watering cans, secateurs, leaf polish plus the knowledge of plant disease and their subsequent treatment.

While the purchase of the container may be a 'one off' initial expense, the plant is not.

Experience proves that the average life span of a plant, that has not been professionally cared for in an air conditioned environment, is only between 6 – 12 weeks.
  • Consistent Quality
When hiring plants from Hire Plants Limited we ensure that the plants are healthy and suitable for their ‘new home.’

We totally seal and waterproof all containers prior to staging the plants. This prevents damage to all floor coverings.

We spray, prune, polish, prepare, acclimatise and stage the plants professionally.

Should the quality of the plant diminish, for any reason, it will be replaced with a new healthy specimen.

Experience indicates that purchased plants, not receiving professional care, are only replaced, once they have been dead for a period of time.
  •   Service
Hire Plants Limited have trained technicians who service the plants, using the correct techniques.

Many people assume that watering plants is simple, however it is very important to know the needs of each species of plant, as their moisture requirements are very different.

These requirements can fluctuate for a number of reasons. The season, the air temperature, soil temperature, foot traffic and more importantly, changes in natural light.

Over 90% of interior plants are killed through water related issues.

Over watering usually results in an anaerobic soil condition, which causes an unpleasant odour in the office environment and of course the subsequent death of the plant
  • Liability
Another consideration is that water can be a costly, potential hazard.

The leakage of water from porous containers, together with spilled water, can damage furniture and floors, and contribute to electrical shortages, which ultimately pose a fire threat.

Hire Plants is able to offer public liability to cover such an unforeseen event or accident. All Hire Plants’ containers are fully guaranteed.
  •   Flexibility
When a business expands or reduces in size or relocates to new premises, Hire Plants Limited can assist in this situation.

We can reduce or increase the number of plants or change your present ‘look’

We can also offer you the flexibility of change The plants and containers that were selected a year or two ago may now be out of fashion. We can assist by suggesting a new ‘'fresh' look replacing both containers and plants, if that is your request.

We can assist in the relocation of your plants to your new premises by transporting the plants for you.
