Taking care of indoor plants requires skill, devotion, and, well, love, so their beauty stands out distinctly in the surroundings.<\/p>\n

As simple as it may seem, professional plant care requires much more than the process of giving it water. Most plants brought indoors are from tropical climates where water cascades down a rainforest\u2019s canopy of tall trees until tiny drizzles of water end up on the plants far below. Contrary to the belief that these plants need lots of water, most of them end up drowning in kindness, which equates to over-watering. So it is no surprise that a key component to successful indoor plantscaping is the technicians.<\/p>\n

Plant technicians have garnered years of experience tending to our green leafy friends. A far cry from simple plant janitors, they bring innate knowledge of plant mechanics with them every day. Root depth, soil preference, and water requirements are just some of the cultivated information these technicians carry with them. Yet an even greater skill is the ability to memorize and locate each plant spread out over thousands of square feet, where they quickly service $1,000s worth of plants every day. This guaranteed specialized service comes from an independent state of mind that the techs use to motivate themselves daily, constantly looking for ways to improve their work every week.<\/p>\n

One of our technicians came into the office a while back to inform us that a client was planning to relocate to a new building. By notifying us of this pending move, it gave us the opportunity to suggest our moving services and offer a whole new design for their new offices. The client loved the idea. And so did we. Since the building construction was still in the initial stages, it allowed a budget to be established directly with the architects and designers. The foresight to let us know about the upcoming move showed dedication and incentive to keep us growing.<\/p>\n

Technicians wear other hats. As ambassadors for our company, technicians play a large role in representing the company\u2019s values, skills, and humanity. Sent to some of the most prestigious offices and confidential areas in the top Fortune 500 offices, technicians are trustworthy professionals who work diligently in very high-security businesses, private homes, and also service rooms in high-end hotels. Privy to the operations that are conducted within the various premises, technicians hold discretion and diplomacy in everything they do.<\/p>\n

But best of all, technicians are down-to-earth, gracious caretakers who often befriend or become plant counselors to employees at the various accounts. They love to share their knowledge of plant species, the various colors and sizes, trimming techniques, and how to treat pesky bugs<\/a>. The human touch they give to plant care works extremely well. Happily sharing a smile<\/a> with all who pass by, the technicians leave a warm reminder of our presence with each account.<\/p>\n

Sporting more than a green thumb, plant technicians work diligently in the name of green, keeping vibrant plants for each client with impeccable service that wins more accounts. Their eye for detail is unsurpassed, and we value them immensely. And in turn, the indoor environments we service become infused with the background of life-giving greenery for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
