If you’re looking for a sustainable and low-maintenance way to green your office or business space, hydroponic and semi-hydroponic plants are particularly interesting solutions. Both systems make it possible to integrate plants into an indoor space in an efficient and stylish way, without the drawbacks of traditional potting soil.
What is hydroponics?
Hydroponics is a technique where plants grow in water with nutrients instead of soil. The roots are placed in a substrate (such as clay pebbles) that retains water and allows oxygen to pass through. As a result:
- Plants have more stable growth
- They are less susceptible to fungus gnats
- They require less maintenance (watering once every 4–6 weeks)
- They are ideal for office planting
What is semi-hydroponics?
With semi-hydroponics, plants are placed in soil, but there is a water reservoir beneath the soil so they need watering less often, and the plants absorb the right amount of water themselves. This technique combines the best of both worlds:
- The natural feel of soil
- Plants can grow better
- The convenience and stability of hydroponics, watering once a month
- Flexibly applicable in existing pots or systems
- More plant choices than with full hydroponics
Why do companies choose hydroponic or semi-hydroponic plants?
What makes hydroponics and semi-hydroponics so attractive is the low maintenance level combined with a professional look. Plants stay healthy longer and need less frequent care. This makes them perfect for busy offices, waiting rooms, meeting rooms, or public reception areas where greenery is desired but there’s no time for intensive maintenance.
How do we apply hydroponics to interior planting for companies?
At Wildernis, we guide companies from start to finish in greening their work environment. We always start with personal on-site advice. We look at light levels, humidity, walking routes, interior style, and functional requirements. Based on this, we draw up a planting plan in which we suggest the most suitable hydroponic and/or semi-hydroponic plants.
Once approved, we take care of the delivery and placement of the plants, including the right pots, substrates, and water meters. If desired, we can also take full responsibility for the maintenance.
