Office Plant of the Year 2008: Sansevieria

Workers who spend over four hours a day in front of a computer screen feel significantly better and are more productive when there are plants in the workplace. This is one of the conclusions reached by many years of international research on plants, people, office and environment. A panel of experts including specialists from the Dutch National Health Institute NIGZ, TNO Quality of Life and Applied Plant and Environment Research PPO has judged five air purifying plants. The Sansevieria (old woman’s or mother-in-law’s tongue) was voted Office Plant of the Year 2008 in the Netherlands. The Dutch Minister of Social Affairs and Employment Piet Hein Donner was presented with the ‘healthy’ plant at the National Public Health Congress.
