After more than two decades in the interiorscape industry, I\u2019ve found myself thinking more and more about retirement. I still enjoy working with plants and am grateful to earn a living doing what I love. However, the older I get, the more I look forward to the day when the only plants I need to care for are my own. The physical demands of this business are starting to take a toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants, in their own way, show signs of aging too, and deciding when to retire or replace plants in client accounts isn\u2019t always straightforward. It can feel counterintuitive to replace a plant that isn\u2019t dying, especially if your business guarantees plant replacements<\/a>. At the same time, maintaining sub-par foliage can reflect poorly on your quality of service and the overall appearance of your interiorscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you decide when to retire or replace a plant in a client\u2019s account? Here are a few factors I consider before making that decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Foliage Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Old age doesn\u2019t necessarily warrant replacement. While the average lifespan of an indoor plant is 2\u20133 years, I have several plants that are two decades old. Take, for instance, an arborea tree in one of my best accounts. It\u2019s at least twenty-five years old, if not older, and nearly reaches the office ceiling. Its trunk is thick with a unique curve, and its canopy of leaves is still full and vibrant green. Given that very few nurseries near me still grow arboreas, finding a comparable replacement would be nearly impossible. Retiring this tree would mean providing my client with a much smaller plant\u2014probably around four feet tall compared to the current eight\u2014which could understandably leave them feeling shortchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In situations like this, age alone isn\u2019t a reason to replace a plant. In fact, plants with good genetics and the right conditions can become more valuable over time. For interiorscape professionals, plant replacement decisions should be based more on overall plant health, structure, and appearance than age alone. That said, foliage age should still be considered when deciding whether to retire or replace plants, especially as overall quality begins to decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Visible Signs of Aging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as I\u2019ve noticed dark brown spots showing up on my hands as I age, plants can also develop visible signs of aging, such as leaf discoloration. In Florida, where hard water is prevalent, yellow or pale spots often appear on leaves because of mineral content. Poor lighting and temperature fluctuations can also negatively affect foliage appearance and contribute to declining plant health in interiorscape environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If these blemishes can be removed with scissors<\/a> using a few angled cuts, or by removing a few affected leaves, I\u2019ll keep the plant in place. However, when trimming becomes a weekly necessity and multiple leaves need to be removed, it\u2019s usually a sign that it\u2019s time to replace the plant rather than continue ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Plant Support Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The older a plant gets, the more likely its branches droop or its trunk leans, making it unstable. If these issues can\u2019t be resolved by replacing eroded soil and staking the trunk is the only solution, it may be time to consider retiring the plant to maintain a clean, professional appearance in your interiorscapes. The same goes for using floral wire to support heavy branches. Exposed mechanics can signal poor service quality and draw attention to declining plant structure rather than the plant itself. That said, there are exceptions, especially when a plant is rare or holds sentimental value for the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take, for example, a gorgeous 8-foot Song of India tree in a client\u2019s office that started as a 4-foot bush. Instead of replacing it, I\u2019ve discreetly secured a few branches with small pieces of bamboo, which blend seamlessly with the trunk. According to the client, this tree has significant emotional value and has seen him through years of challenges, along with success. Even if it had only a few leaves left, he would still cherish this plant for the simple fact that it\u2019s been through \u201chell\u201d with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kind of attachment isn\u2019t unusual, especially in high-stress industries like mortgage or banking. I\u2019ve even referred to some of these plants as a \u201cCharlie Brown tree.\u201d Despite my recommendations to replace them, clients are often willing to keep them for sentimental reasons, particularly when the plant isn\u2019t prominently displayed or when its condition doesn\u2019t significantly impact the overall look of the interiorscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thinning Foliage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as some people lose their hair, plants can experience similar thinning, especially when lighting conditions aren\u2019t ideal. Anytime a plant moves from a perfect greenhouse<\/a> environment to the artificial light of a building, some foliage loss is expected as it acclimates. However, if this leaf drop continues for several months, it\u2019s usually a sign the plant isn\u2019t going to adjust, and that\u2019s when I start considering whether it\u2019s time to replace it rather than continue maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider ficus trees, which are notorious for struggling to maintain a full canopy of leaves. Yet, I have a Ficus benjamina<\/em> in a third-floor office corner that has thrived for over twenty years. Despite not receiving direct sunlight, it sheds only a few leaves each year. Why some plants can survive the odds and remain attractive for decades remains a bit of a mystery\u2014whether it\u2019s genetics, environment, or just luck that allows certain plants to maintain their appearance in interiorscape conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although deciding when to retire or replace a plant might seem straightforward, it\u2019s a crucial skill that helps keep your plant displays vibrant and your business thriving. Paying attention to the subtle cues of plant health\u2014and making timely decisions\u2014helps maintain the quality of your interiorscapes and ensures your plant displays continue to meet client expectations<\/a> over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
