Plants in a restaurant have always been a staple décor — you often see these spaces filled with greenery. That’s largely due to the many advantages of having plants in the restaurant environment. They’re aesthetically pleasing, add splashes of color, and make your space much more enticing to customers.
But the problem with adding plants to your restaurant is that they add an extra task to your team’s workload — and if you forget about them, then they’d make a negative impression on your customers.
With that in mind, here are the best low-maintenance indoor plants for restaurants. Choose any combination of these, and you’ll have hassle-free pots of nature that boost your restaurant’s image:
Herbs
Growing herbs in your restaurant is a smart move. Not only are there several common herbs that are very easy to grow — but they’re also pretty attractive, fragrant, and can be used to supply your kitchen.
Depending on your restaurant menu, here are some options you should consider:
Mint
Mint plants — like this Lemon Mint — are a great garnish for desserts, co*cktails, and teas. It’s also one of the simplest herbs to care for. As long as you have pots that provide good drainage, and a place in indirect sunlight, then this herb will have no problem.
Parsley
This herb might be slow to grow, but it yields a lot of leaves that you can use in your kitchen. Parsley also loves the sunlight, so put your planters directly under a south-facing restaurant window!
Basil
Basil can be made into pesto, added to soups and broths, or used to top dishes like pizza or pasta! It’s one of the most versatile and easy-to-grow herbs that you can have in your restaurant.
Succulents
If your restaurant has more of a modern look, then succulents may just be the choice tabletop plant for you! This plant family is so extensive, there is bound to be one that fits your existing décor perfectly. From our Zebra Cactus to our Jade Plant, we have a wide variety of succulents in different shapes and sizes to choose from!
And when it comes to caring for these plants, don’t worry. They all love bright indirect sunlight, so you can place them either near windows or even outdoors in a shaded area. They also don’t need a lot of water — just once every 7-10 days or when their soil is dry.
Peace Lily
Peace lilies are so stunning that they easily give your space a lush, elegant feel wherever you place them. They have gorgeous and vibrantly dark green leaves and striking white flowers. Their looks are the reason why they are among the most popular choices for restaurants. Plus, they’re also one of the most forgiving plants you can choose — they won’t easily die due to a lack of maintenance!
Golden Pothos
If you like the image of trailing vines and lush leaves for your restaurant decor, then consider the Golden Pothos. These plants will be an excellent choice for your restaurant, and you can easily grow them in beautiful vases, in either water or soil. They can be placed on your tables, but they look best when they can grow long vines. So we suggest placing them on shelves, or from a hanging basket.
Snake Plants
Snake plants, also called Sansevieria, or “mother-in-law’s tongue,” are another one of our favorites for restaurants because of their hardiness. Even placed in low-light settings, this plant will grow well! Plus, its sharp and modern look will instantly make your place look more upscale. Its upward growth habit can also be used to create natural dividers — try grouping four or five of them to make one!
Calathea Plants
Calathea plants are small, beautiful, and leafy plants with striking patterns on their leaves. Their light touches of color can add depth and interest — some varieties even have silver, red, and pink tones. And they’re pretty easy to care for, too! We recommend placing them in bright, indirect light to preserve their interesting and vibrant coloring. But other than that, these plants don’t need any special care.
Monstera Plants
Need something with big foliage for your floor decor? We highly recommend using Monstera plants. These plants have interestingly shaped foliage — like our Monstera Deliciousa with its distinct split-leaf appearance — so they’re sure to add depth and visual appeal in any corner of your restaurant.
Another option is our Monstera Adansonii, which has a climbing and vining growth habit and can grow up to three to five feet tall.
These options will look great in bigger containers that will encourage them to grow!
Key Takeaway
Spruce up your restaurant with these indoor plants — they not only add some depth and greenery to your restaurant but can also help you draw in more customers!
