Beyond beauty: Why plants are your best business investment
Indoor plant hire Australia does more than improve aesthetics—it supports measurable performance. Field experiments found offices enriched with plants achieved productivity increases of up to 15%, alongside improved concentration and workplace satisfaction, as shown in University of Groningen research. Professionally managed office plant hire ensures greenery remains healthy and visible, helping sustain performance outcomes in commercial workplaces.

Professionally maintained indoor plants provide restorative cues that help teams sustain concentration throughout the day.
Indoor plants support clearer thinking and sustained focus.

Frequently asked questions
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.
