Plant Rental for Coworking Spaces: How a Green Office Increases Occupancy

The coworking boom and the differentiation problem

In Prague in 2026, you will find over 80 coworking spaces. From Impact Hub to Worklounge and hundreds of smaller venues. Hot desk prices range from 2,500 to 6,000 CZK per month, and most spaces offer similar things: fast internet, a printer, a kitchenette, meeting rooms.

So how do you stand out? Design, community and — increasingly — the environment itself. A 2025 study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology confirmed that workers rate coworking spaces with live plants 23% higher on the "want to come back" scale.

Why plants work better than other decorations

Artificial plants and printed posters are cheap, but customers can tell. Live plants communicate different values: care, sustainability, wellbeing. Concrete benefits for coworking:

• Acoustics — large-leafed plants like monstera or ficus absorb sound and reduce noise in open spaces
• Air quality — indoor plants lower CO₂ levels and increase relative humidity, which significantly improves concentration in air-conditioned spaces
• Photogenic appeal — members share photos from attractive spaces on Instagram, providing free organic promotion for the coworking space
• Retention — the more pleasant the environment, the longer members stay (and recommend the space to others)

What plant rental for coworking looks like in practice

Plant rental for coworking spaces differs from standard office rental in three ways:

1. Higher foot traffic means more intensive care

A coworking space sees far more people than a typical office. This means a higher risk of accidental plant damage, but also greater interest from members in "their" greenery. We recommend placing plants in robust ceramic or concrete containers and choosing species resilient to both direct sunlight and shade (ZZ plant, snake plant, philodendron).

2. Zoning the coworking space with plants

One of the most effective tricks used by interior designers: plants as natural dividers. Instead of expensive partitions or glass walls, use a row of tall plants (ficus, dracaena, palms) to separate the focused work zone from the community area. Customers appreciate it and you save on structural changes.

3. Flexible contract tailored to coworking needs

Coworking spaces have seasonal fluctuations — summer tends to be quieter, September–October stronger. That is why we offer coworking spaces contracts with the option to adjust plant numbers seasonally without penalty. If spring brings new members and you need more greenery, just give us a call.

How much does plant rental for coworking cost?

It depends on the size of the space and the desired style. Approximate calculations for Prague coworking spaces:

For comparison: the annual investment in plants comes to less than one month's rent for 50 m² of office space. The return is direct — higher occupancy, lower member churn.

Best plant species for coworking spaces

We select species based on three criteria: resilience to variable conditions, aesthetic impact and low light requirements (coworking spaces are often in deeper floors).

• ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) — virtually indestructible, glossy dark green leaves, slow but reliable growth
• Snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata) — purifies air, survives neglect, modern look
• Monstera deliciosa — Instagram magnet, grows fast, needs space and a photo corner
• Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) — classic office plant, works as a visual space divider
• Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) — ideal for shelves and hanging baskets, cascades downwards
• Dracaena marginata — palm-like silhouette, low-light champion
