New research has shown that office plants can help staff be more creative and productive. According to the research office plants aid concentration, increase productivity and boost staff wellbeing by 47 per cent.

The researchers believe their findings add weight to other studies, which indicate plants increase psychological comfort and business performance. http://www.freeofficefinder.com/article/pretty-offices-create-productive-workforce
