Office Plant Hire
Can you work around our office hours?
We can schedule maintenance visits to suit your business hours, ensuring minimal disruption to your staff or clients.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within a few hours, depending on the number of plants. We schedule the installation at a time that minimises disruption to your team.
What happens if a plant doesn’t thrive in my office?
We may recommend a change of location or replace with another plant species to ensure we meet our high service standard. All at no additional cost.
Why should we hire plants instead of buying them?
Hiring plants saves you time, money, and hassle. Our service includes ongoing maintenance, watering, cleaning, pruning, and plant replacement if any become unhealthy. You’ll always have vibrant, healthy plants without needing in-house expertise or extra staff time.
What’s included in the hire price?
Everything — supply of plants and pots, installation, regular maintenance, watering, cleaning, pruning, fertilising, and plant replacements when required.
How much does office plant hire cost?
Pricing depends on the number of plants, types of pots, and the overall layout. On average, small offices start from around $25 per week, and larger offices are priced according to design and quantity. We can provide a detailed quote after a free on-site consultation.
Do you deliver and install?
Delivery and installation are all included with our service at no additional cost.
Can you help us choose the right plants for our office?
We offer a free consultation to assess your space, lighting, and style preferences. We’ll then recommend suitable plant varieties and pot options that best complement your workspace.
Are your services available Australia-wide?
We service most major metropolitan areas and can recommend local providers in other regions through our network.
Can we change or add to our plant selection later?
Yes. As your workspace evolves, we’re here to help with plant and pot updates, with tailored recommendations and quotes provided for any changes.
Are the plants real? They look so good!
Our most asked question. Yes – all our plants are 100% real. We carefully select premium-quality, nursery grown plants that are suited to indoor environments. Our professional maintenance program keeps them looking lush and healthy all year round, which is why many people mistake them for artificial plants.
What is office plant hire?
Office plant hire is a service where we supply, install, and maintain live indoor plants in your workplace for a set weekly or monthly fee. This includes the plants, decorative pots, and full maintenance — so your office always looks fresh and professional without any effort on your part.

Green Wall Solutions
Can you customise green walls for specific interior designs?
Yes. We offer custom layouts, plant selection, moss colour palettes, frame sizes, and signage integration to match your interior design, corporate brand, or office fit-out style. Our specialists ensure every green wall complements the surrounding space.
How do I get a free consultation for a green wall solution?
Call 1800 631 365 or email info@tpr.com.au to book a free consultation. Our Green Wall Specialists will help you:
- Select the right wall type for your space and needs
- Advise on plant or moss species and colours
- Plan installation and ongoing maintenance
- Integrate branding or signage where required
Are green walls suitable for low-light offices or interior spaces?
- Living Modular Green Walls require adequate light and are best suited for areas with natural or artificial lighting.
- Moss Walls are perfect for low-light interiors since they do not require sunlight or irrigation.
- Grid Frame Walls can accommodate shade-tolerant plant species, making them flexible for a variety of lighting conditions.
Can green walls incorporate branding or signage?
Absolutely. Our green wall specialists can integrate logos, illuminated signage, laser-cut lettering, and custom colour schemes into both living and moss walls, creating striking branded features in reception areas, boardrooms, or event spaces.
Do you provide green wall installation and ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Tropical Plant Rentals offers full-service green wall installation, including site assessment, system design, installation, and commissioning. Living Modular and Grid Frame walls come with ongoing maintenance for watering, pruning, feeding, and plant replacement. Moss walls are low-maintenance, with occasional dusting recommended.
How much space do green walls require?
Green walls are designed to maximise vertical space, making them ideal for offices and commercial interiors where floor space is limited. Living Modular Green Walls and Moss Walls are mounted directly on walls, while Green Wall Grid Frames can be freestanding or wall-fixed for flexible layouts.
Can green walls improve office wellbeing and productivity?
Yes! Green walls and vertical gardens are a form of biophilic design. Research shows that incorporating greenery into workplaces can improve staff wellbeing, reduce stress, enhance visual comfort, and create environments that encourage focus and creativity. Even moss walls offer visual and acoustic benefits.
What is the difference between a living wall and a moss wall?
A living wall features live plants and a self-contained irrigation system, providing lush greenery, improved indoor air perception, and acoustic benefits. A moss wall, on the other hand, is made from preserved moss, requiring no watering or lighting and delivering consistent texture and colour, making it ideal for low-maintenance interior decoration.
What types of green walls do you offer for commercial spaces?
Tropical Plant Rentals provides three main green wall solutions for offices, retail, hospitality, and other commercial interiors:
- Living Modular Green Walls – Lush, fully irrigated walls with live plants for high-impact biophilic design.
- Moss Walls – Preserved moss installations requiring minimal maintenance, ideal for low-light areas or decorative brand walls.
- Green Wall Grid Frames – Flexible, freestanding or wall-mounted structures with potted plants, perfect for space dividers or temporary feature walls.

Design Partnerships
What does ongoing commercial plant maintenance include?
Under our structured maintenance agreements, we provide:
- Scheduled horticultural servicing
- Plant health monitoring
- Replacement where required
- Presentation standards management
- Performance accountability
This ensures office plant installations remain consistent with original design intent across the tenancy lifecycle.
How does Tropical Plant Rentals differ from a traditional plant supplier?
Tropical Plant Rentals operates under a long-term commercial plant hire model, not a supply-and-handover approach. We retain plant ownership and provide structured, ongoing horticultural maintenance, ensuring plant performance, presentation and compliance are managed across the life of the tenancy.
This reduces post-installation risk for architects, builders and asset managers.
Do you collaborate during schematic and detailed design stages?
Yes. We partner with architects and interior designers during schematic design (SD) and detailed design (DD) to integrate planting into documentation.
Our team reviews plans to resolve:
- Built-in planter dimensions
- Joinery integration
- Drainage and waterproofing interfaces
- Maintenance access requirements
- Lighting and lux-level considerations
Early engagement reduces variation risk and retrofit exposure during construction.
How do you ensure plant species are suitable for office environments?
Species are specified based on:
- Confirmed lux levels
- Artificial lighting conditions
- Spatial volume and air movement
- Environmental constraints
Our commercial plant selection prioritises long-term survivability and maintenance efficiency — not short-term visual impact.
Can you coordinate built-in planters and custom joinery?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with joiners, architects and builders to integrate built-in planters within commercial fit-outs.
We provide guidance on:
- Minimum soil depths
- Drainage requirements
- Irrigation (where applicable)
- Access panels for maintenance
- Structural load considerations
This ensures planter design is buildable and serviceable.
Do you provide green wall systems for commercial projects?
Yes. Our commercial green wall solutions are specified with structural loading, irrigation strategy and maintenance access in mind.
We ensure vertical greenery systems are:
- Technically resolved prior to construction
- Compatible with services coordination
- Supported by ongoing professional maintenance
Green walls are treated as long-term assets, not decorative features.
Do you support multi-site or national office rollouts?
Yes. Tropical Plant Rentals delivers brand-consistent commercial plant hire across multi-site and national portfolios.
We provide:
- Standardised plant schedules
- Consistent container specifications
- Coordinated interstate servicing
- Structured maintenance governance
This ensures uniform brand presentation across all locations.
How do you align with fast-track commercial fit-out programmes?
We coordinate installation sequencing with head contractors and project managers to align with site programme requirements.
Our team understands:
- Compressed fit-out timelines
- Trade coordination
- Site induction and compliance protocols
- After-hours installation where required
Plant installation is integrated into programme, not disruptive to it.
How do you reduce risk associated with integrated planting?
Risk mitigation is central to our model.
We design for serviceability at documentation stage, ensuring:
- No inaccessible planters
- Realistic maintenance access
- Appropriate drainage and waterproofing
- Long-term plant viability
Because we retain responsibility under managed hire, plant performance risk does not transfer at practical completion.
Can commercial planting contribute to sustainability and wellness outcomes?
When correctly specified and professionally maintained, commercial planting may support:
- Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) objectives
- Biophilic design strategies
- Green Star Performance goals
Long-term maintenance continuity is critical to sustaining these environmental outcomes.
