18-08-2010 | Last Wednesday the Anthurium was announced office plant of the year 2010. The Anthurium, also called Flamingo plant, is the most ideal plant at the office. The plant cleans the air, stands rough handling, is available in various colours and needs little care.

A professional scientific jury, existing of amongst others plant experts of Fytagoras Plant Science (part of TNO*), the National Health Institute NIGZ and members of the Dutch Association of Secretaries (NVD) declared the Anthurium office plant of the year 2010.

Jury chairman Bert van Duijn (Fytagoras Plant Science) is very positive about the Anthurium: “Because the Flamingo plant is also available in bigger sizes, the plant can also be put on the floor at home and in the office. The smaller sizes are just excellently suitable to put on the desk beside the monitor. An important spot, because research has shown that everybody who works more than four hours per day with a monitor, really feels more comfortable and is more productive thanks to the plants on the workplace. The Flamingo plant is a real office buddy.”

Plants on the workplace a must
TNO Quality of Life has performed extensive practical research on office rooms. It also appeared that people, who work longer than four hours per day with the computer, are more productive and feel more comfortable when there are plants on the workplace. After the study TNO came with the advice to put at least two plants per 12 m².

The importance of house plants on the workplace is subscribed to various research results of amongst others the space travel organisation NASA and TNO Quality of Life.
