A thriving industry
People spend most of their working hours indoors, and research shows that plants are more than just decoration. After natural light, live indoor plants are the most wanted element in office design. Employees who work in environments with natural elements report a 15% higher sense of wellbeing and a 6% increase in productivity, while creativity increases by 15%. Plants filter toxins from the air and absorb noise, creating healthier and happier workplaces. As awareness of these benefits grows, demand for biophilic design and plant hire services continues to rise. Indoor plant hire is a resilient, expanding industry with long-term clients and recurring revenue.
Tropical Plant Rentals is at the forefront of this movement. We are the leading provider of office wellbeing products and services in Australia. Our franchise network has grown from a family business into a national brand that supplies plant hire, green walls and event plants to thousands of clients. We add value to workplaces by creating healthy, productive environments, and our franchisees enjoy good income and a balanced lifestyle.
Why choose our franchise?
Proven systems and heritage
With over five decades of industry experience, we’ve refined our systems so franchisees can focus on growing their business. We provide comprehensive training covering plant care, design, sales, operations and business management. You don’t need previous horticulture experience – our training will give you the confidence to select, install and maintain plants, and to run your business efficiently.
National brand and ongoing support
When you join Tropical Plant Rentals, you’re backed by a national brand synonymous with quality and service. Our franchisees benefit from marketing campaigns, national branding and shared expertise. We offer mentoring from experienced franchisees and head office support in operations, marketing and customer service. You’re in business for yourself, but never by yourself.
Flexibility and lifestyle
Indoor plant hire offers stable income and a balanced lifestyle. Many of our franchisees operate from a home base or small warehouse, keeping overheads low. The work is varied – you’ll be visiting clients, designing plant displays, organising installations and building client relationships. You set your own hours and can scale the business to suit your goals. Our franchisees appreciate the freedom of running their own business while still enjoying the support and camaraderie of a larger network.

Owning a Tropical Plant Rentals franchise means improving the wellbeing of people in your community. Research links biophilic design with reduced absenteeism and increased productivity. By installing and maintaining living greenery, you help businesses create healthier work environments, support mental health and showcase their commitment to sustainability. It’s a business that delivers both financial and social rewards.
Who we’re looking for
Our ideal franchisees are energetic, customer focused and passionate about plants. Business acumen, strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships will help you succeed. You might be an experienced horticulturist looking to step into business ownership, or someone from a completely different industry with a love of nature.
