Green Wall vs Plant Rental: Which Is Right for Your Colombo Office?
Two of the most common ways to bring greenery into a Colombo office are plant rental and a green wall (vertical garden). They solve different problems, and choosing between them comes down to space, budget and the impression you want to make. Here is how to decide.
What each option is
Plant rental
Potted plants and designer planters placed around your office and cared for by our team every month. One monthly fee, no deposit and no lock-in. Starts from Rs. 6,795/month.
Green wall
A custom-designed vertical planted feature that turns a bare wall into a focal point. Designed to suit your wall, and quoted after a site visit.
How they compare
Space: plant rental needs floor or desk space; a green wall uses vertical space, which suits tight offices. Impact: a green wall is a statement feature for reception, lobbies and brand areas; rental spreads greenery throughout the whole office. Flexibility: rental plans can change or stop anytime; a green wall is a designed installation and is more of a fixed investment. Effort: both are maintained by our team, so neither needs work from you.
Which one to choose
Choose plant rental if you want greenery across many areas, a predictable monthly cost and flexibility. Choose a green wall if you have one high-visibility wall, such as reception or a client meeting area, and want a lasting feature that photographs well. Many clients choose both: a green wall as the centrepiece and rented plants elsewhere.
Maintenance and cost
Plant rental is priced as a monthly plan that includes plants, planters and care. Green walls are custom-designed, so cost depends on wall size, design and location, which is why we quote after a site visit. Both are looked after by our trained team so that your staff don't have to water or replace anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is a green wall better than plant rental?
Neither is better in every case. A green wall suits a single high-visibility wall and gives a lasting feature. Plant rental suits offices that want greenery in many areas with flexible monthly costs.
