Indoor plants offer a wide possibility of fragrances in an office setting. A captivating smell can leave the team feeling calmer during a difficult work day, or simply create a more natural atmosphere for employees to enjoy. But not everyone is able to enjoy the fragrances from indoor plants, as some may be allergic. In spite of not being able to do so, there are still a wide range of beautiful fragrance-free plants that offer a similar serenity coupled with aesthetic appeal that is hard to come by in a traditional office setting.
Fragrance-Free Plants
It’s easy to forget that fragrance-free plants are an option, especially as they aren’t marketed as prominently as their scented counterparts. There is a surprisingly vast amount of unscented flowers to choose from, albeit that they might not necessarily always be displayed as prominently within a nursery. Fragrance heavy plants can cause headaches, sneezing and even appetite loss. If anybody in the team is experiencing these symptoms at the office, it might be worth investing in some no-fragrance plants to help keep the peace and maintain a healthy working culture.
Asiatic Lilies
Asiatic lilies are a great way to add a pop of colour into the space without having to contend with a scent that takes over the room. This particular species offers flowers of different colours all year round, making them perfect for a work environment. Be careful with mistaking them with others, as some lilies are renowned for the scent they give off. Asiatic lilies make for great gifts too, considering their versatile nature and the fact that they are easy to get a hold of no matter where in the country you are located. Take your time to find the right one based on the specific needs of your space.
Poppies
Poppies are paper-thin flowers that are wonderful to peer at whether inside an office or in the garden outside. Although some would argue that they have a light scent, others agree that it is so minimalistic that it is nearly impossible for the average nose to smell. Poppies come in a bunch of different colours, allowing anyone with a sensitive nose to get creative about the plant they put near their desk. If you want to make sure that the poppies you’re buying don’t have a scent, talk to an expert at the nursery to point you in the right direction before buying.
Tulips
The ExecuFlora team loves any plant that fits in an indoor setting and doesn’t produce an overwhelming scent that can act as a distraction in the space. Although not all tulips are scentless, there are specific species that are fragrance-free. These are well worth exploring, especially when you’re hoping to create a festive atmosphere in the office without worrying the allergy sufferers in the process.
