We spotted Beards & Daisies on Channel 5’s Shop Smart, Save Money!
Beards & Daisies appeared in their segment about creating the perfect at-home office, with our plants stealing the spotlight, of course. We couldn’t be prouder to see our green beauties on the screen, highlighting how plants can transform any workspace into a productivity haven.
During the segment, Channel 5 presenters Gaby Roslin and Ortis Deley shared tips on choosing budget-friendly plants that look good and make you feel great.
The plants we recommend…
Snake Plant:
The ultimate office plant baby. Low-maintenance, hardy, and oh-so-chic, the snake plant thrives on neglect (perfect for busy workdays). Also known as Sansevieria or Mother-in-Law's Tongue, the Snake plant is particularly well-suited for offices as it can tolerate various light conditions, from bright indirect light to low-light corners of your desk.
Perfect for office spaces, the snake plant is one of the most efficient air-purifying plants identified by NASA, removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from your workspace. So while you're focusing on deadlines and virtual meetings, your snake plant is quietly working overtime to keep your air clean and fresh. And if you occasionally forget to water it (hey, we've all been there!), this resilient beauty will not only forgive you but actually prefer it – making it truly the ideal low-maintenance office companion!
Peace Lily:
Need a little zen in your life? The Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is like a deep breath for your office. Its calming white blooms scream (well, whisper) sophistication, and it’s an excellent air purifier, helping to keep the air fresh and clean while you get through your to-do list. Your Peace Lily will let you know when it wants a drink, in their dramatic nature, their leaves will begin to droop but will perk up as soon as they're refreshed (a little over the top, we know!).
Spider Plant:
Meet your new best friend - the Spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum). These houseplants are super hardy, grow adorable baby "spiders," and look fantastic in hanging baskets or small pots. They are practically indestructible, which is perfect if your plant-parenting style is more "oops" than "expert." These natural air purifiers are especially great for offices and homes because they adapt to various light conditions and won't sulk if you forget to water them occasionally. The baby plants (called "pups" or "spiderettes") not only add visual interest but can also be easily propagated to create new plants – making them the gift that keeps on giving! They thrive in both hanging baskets, where their trailing growth can shine, or in simple pots on desks and shelves where they add a touch of natural elegance.
