What do office plants cost for your business?
Office plants are no longer a luxury they’re a conscious investment in your work environment. But what does interior landscaping actually cost? It’s a question we get regularly, and the answer is: it depends on a number of factors. In this article, we give you an honest and transparent picture of the costs, so you can make a well-informed decision.
Why the price varies by situation
Interior landscaping isn’t a standard product you pick off a shelf. The price is determined by a combination of factors that can vary greatly from organization to organization and location to location. The most important ones are:
The size of the space plays a major role. A small reception area needs a very different budget than a fully outfitted office floor or a hospitality interior with multiple zones.
The type of planting also determines the price. A single large floor plant is something different than a green wall, a moss wall, or a room divider system. The more complex the application, the higher the investment.
The choice between purchase and lease affects your monthly costs. With purchase, you pay a one-time fee for the plants and pots; with lease, you arrange a fixed monthly amount that also covers maintenance. Read more about the pros and cons of renting or leasing plants.
Your choice of pots and planters determines a significant part of the total investment. Custom or designer pots cost more than standard options. Wildernis works with circular pots made from recycled plastic, which are both sustainable and affordable.
Finally, the number of plants plays a role. More plants means higher purchase costs and more maintenance time per visit.
What does installing interior landscaping cost?
For a small office, think of a space with a limited number of workstations and a reception area, you start at around €2,000 with purchase. This includes both plants and pots, based on a thoughtfully designed custom green plan.
For medium and large offices, this amount naturally increases, depending on the number of spaces, your desired planting density, and the pots and planters you choose. During a no-obligation site assessment, we map this out precisely and create a custom quote for you.
Important to know, Wildenris always makes a custom green plan. That way you know exactly what you’re getting, including drawings, plant selection, and materials before you commit.
What does plant maintenance cost per month?
After installation, you naturally want your plants to always look great. Professional plant maintenance costs from €85 per month for a small office. Everything is included in that amount: watering, pruning, fertilizing, and at Wildernis, also our replacement guarantee. If a plant declines despite good care, we replace it at no extra cost.
The price for maintenance, just like the purchase, depends on the number of plants, the type of planting, and the location. We always work with a fixed monthly rate, so you know exactly what you’re paying, no surprises later.

Purchase or lease: what’s more cost-effective?
A common question is whether it’s more cost-effective to buy or lease plants. The answer depends on your situation.
With purchase, you pay a one-time fee for the plants and pots, and then a separate monthly amount for maintenance. This is a good option if you want to make the investment once and own the plants outright.
With lease or rental, you pay a fixed monthly amount that covers both the plants and maintenance. No large upfront investment is needed, which is attractive for many organizations. Plus, outdated or damaged plants are periodically refreshed as part of the contract.
For most small offices, purchase with a maintenance contract is the most common choice. For larger projects or organizations that want flexibility, lease is often more attractive.
What’s the return on your investment?
Interior landscaping is more than just an expense, it’s an investment with proven returns. Research shows that plants on the work floor increase productivity, reduce stress, and decrease sick leave. A more pleasant work environment also helps attract and retain talent.
Additionally, a green interior contributes to your company’s image with clients and visitors. A well-maintained, green office makes a professional and sustainable impression. Read more about the positive effects of plants in the office.
