HYDROCULTURE AT WORKPLACE

DRY THROAT? BURNING EYES? RECURRENT HEADACHES? PLANTS IMPROVE YOUR WORKING ENVIRONMENT !

Indoor Climate

It is often difficult to completely control the indoor climate in an office. It can easily become too hot, too cold, too dry or too damp. Furthermore, it can never be perfect for everyone: what one person finds too hot is too cold for someone else.

In addition printers, copiers, computer monitors, floor coverings, paint and wallpaper release substances into the air which affect the quality of the indoor climate.

The potential consequences of poor air quality are well known: irritated eyes, headache, skin complaints and dry membranes in the nose and mouth. This is not only unpleasant, it is also unhealthy.

Winter or Summer

In winter, when the heating is running at maximum, it is the lack of moisture in the air which causes problems. Most people find a rela-tive humidity of between 30% and 60% pleasant. But many offices do not even achieve the lower level of 30% in winter months. It is no fun indoors in the summer either. Sealed climate control systems with non-opening windows means that you cannot control the environment yourself. Even in offices with the latest climate control systems, more than a quarter of the staff are dissatisfied with the temperature or the humidity.

What can you do about it?

Yet you can easily improve the indoor climate. Use plants! Plantshelp create a healthy workplace and a healthy indoor climate. Not only do they put water vapour back into the air, they also absorb heat and filter dust and harmful substances out of the air. Some indoor palms give off a lot of water, and sword ferns and gerberas cleanse the air of the formaldehyde released by building materials, paper and furniture. Other good air-purifying plants are the rubber plant, English ivy and date palm.

Which plants?

Different plants have different effects – some purify and some humidify the air. Plants with a high level of water consumption can increase humidity by to 15%.

Recommended plant types to purify the air are: Parlour Palm, Kentia Palm, Ficus, Ivy, Boston fern, Philodendron, Spathiphyllum and Mother-in-law’s Tongue.

Recommended plant types to humidify the air are: Ferns like the Boston Fern, African Hemp, Cyperus and other grasses, Spider plant, Bamboo and Spathiphyllim.

Reduce complaints and pain
The effect of plants in the workplace has been the subject of repeated scientific investigation. Time after time the conclusion is the same: plants work! One study looked at the effect of plants on the health of staff in the radiology department of a Norwegian hospital. Once plants were placed in the department and artificial daylight was introduced, the level of health complaints amongst those studied fell noticeably. This resulted in a permanent reduction in absence due to illness from 15% to 5% within 6 months.

Reduce the stress

The presence of plants does not just affect the indoor climate. Researchers have discovered that a view of greenery can result in ademonstrable reduction in stress within five minutes. Research in the Netherlands has shown that people who spend more than four hours a day working at a computer monitor feel better and are more productive with plants in the workplace!

The green view

Hospital patients with a view of greenery recover more quickly than patients who do not have such a view. The view of greenery produces a calming and relaxed feeling.

The green indoor environment
Companies are increasingly willing to accept that they have akey role to play in protecting the environment and the welfare of their employees, and therefore often strive for a ‘green’ image. Presenting such an image starts with a healthy indoor environment. Plants at work fit perfectly within the area of company policy which nowadays is labelled ‘health management’. As an employee, you can hold your employer to account on this.

Improve your skills at workplace
Anyone wishing to do themselves, their colleagues and their business a healthy favour will ensure that there are plants in the workplace. This guarantees a better working atmosphere, but above all a healthier climate in which to work. The benefits for your employer are also substantial: less absence due to illness and better performance.

A research show that, the pollution many pollutants inside our homes, offices, buildings, reach substantially higher levels than outside. It was shocking since before we believe that indoor space are clean than the outsides. Since nearly 90% of an average person’s time is spent indoors, taking appropriate actions becomes vital to health. High levels of unattended pollution invite sick building syndrome indoors such as dry cough, itchy skin, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye, nose or throat irritation, difficulty in concentrating, sensitivity to odors, fatigue. These symptoms are often alleviated when you leave a certain building, no longer exposed to that poor quality of air.

Since hydroculture plants help remove interior air pollutants such as Formaldehyde, Benzol, Phenol and Nicotine inside the building, it directly overcome some problem like stress, sad, tired, and be therapy media for health, enliven surrounding atmosphere, neutralize air pollution. So,simply by adding a few hydroculture plants to your interior environment may be the simplest way to improve your health and feel good at your workplace,

Some study have been conducts by Engelbert Kötter working on behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Nourishment, Agriculture and Forestry. The study was carried out in 94 offices and over a two year period, and found that:

• The environment in offices with plants felt fresher, made them feel less stressed, made the workers feel more human and in general seem to up-grade their environment
• Plants in offices improved employee’s perception of their well-being as well as improving the comfort-factor of the offices.
• With improved conditions and perceptions, office employee’s will enjoy their work situation better; happy employees = more output and happy bosses.

In 1999 the Oxford Brookes University carried out a study entitled “Green Plants for the Feel Good Factor”, which concluded that:

• People’s perception of an indoor space is more positive in the presence of indoor plants.
• The indoor space was perceived as more relaxed and less stressful with indoor plants.
• Both men and women displayed a preference to sit close to plants.

This article in this blogs shows that how good are the Hydroculture to the working environment. So we advice you to place Hydroculture Plants in your office.

HOW HYDROCULTURE CLEANS AIR POLLUTION?

A recent study from the Botanical Institute at the University of Cologne, Germany, shows that hydroculture plants (plants grown without soil) like the ficus Benjamina and pothos do a remarkable job of removing interior air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzol, phenol and nicotine. These items are released into the interior atmosphere from the building materials themselves and contribute to the phenomenon known as “Sick-building syndrome”.

Plants absorb pollutants into their leaves(called stoma) and transmit the toxins to their roots. The roots play an important part to clean the air. Poisons like nicotine, formaldehyde, benzene and phenol are reduced in a biological way through micro-organisms in the root area. They are then transformed into a source of food for the plant.

Another way is by emitting water vapor, which creates a pumping action. The pumping action pulls dirty air down to the root area, where it’s once more converted into a food source for the plant. With hydroculture everyone can enjoy the benefits from the most natural air cleaners on our planet, right inside their homes.

Hydroculture plants absorb pollutants such as formaldehyde in large quantities through their leaves. They don’t just store these chemical pollutants, but actually transform 90% of these substances into sugars, new plant material, and oxygen.

The ficus removes nicotine and breaks it down, while the rapidly growing pothos stores the nicotine in its younger leaves. The institute found up to 30 milligrams per gram of leaf dry weight. This combination of ficus/pothos can effectively neutralize most office pollutants.

You can substantially improve the plants cleaning abilities by changing its water. For more attractive and to avoid mosquitos you can put a fish inside the pot. You never to worry, because fish can leave in our fertilizer.

There’s some houseplant that can helps to improve or reduce air pollutant:

1. Philodendron scandens `oxycardium’, heartleaf philodendron
2. Philodendron domesticum, elephant ear philodendron
3. Dracaena fragrans `Massangeana’, cornstalk dracaena
4. Hedera helix, English ivy
5. Chlorophytum comosum, spider plant
6. Dracaena deremensis `Janet Craig’, Janet Craig dracaena
7. Dracaena deremensis `Warneckii’, Warneck dracaena
8. Ficus benjamina, weeping fig
9. Epipiremnum aureum, golden pothos
10. Spathiphyllum `Mauna Loa’, peace lily
11. Philodendron selloum, selloum philodendron
12. Aglaonema modestum, Chinese evergreen
13. Chamaedorea sefritzii, bamboo or reed palm
14. Sansevieria trifasciata, snake plant
15. Dracaena marginata , red-edged dracaena

Hydroculture (sometimes called hydroponic-culture or hydro-culture), is a system of cultivation of plants without the use of soil but it is the low-end of growing plants in water. It was particularly used for indoor tropical houseplants or plants used in office or home interiorscape. Hydroculture is easy to care and maintain, compared to plants grown in soil. At the same time it guaranteeing a thriving and healthy growth of the plants plus, it was superior than those plants cultivated in soil. This is because growing in a hydroculture gives it an excellent setting for plant development.

The term hydroculture is restricted to hydroponics as applied to ornamental plants. It has been used widely as the preferred method for growing tropical plants in Europe. It is also referred to as passive hydroponic system. Tropical plants thrive in this system, although just about any plant can be trained in . In Hydroculture system, plants draw their nourishment from water and the mineral salts contained in it since water is the basis of life.

Hydroculture is confused at times with self-watering pots. Although they share some similarities – both systems ease the task of providing the plant with the appropriate amount of water – there are significant differences. Hydroculture does not include soil, at all. It has gone one step further and replaced the soil with a more steril medium:expanded clay.

DO YOU KNOW?

Statistics show that people spend:

• 22 hours per day in closed indoor areas:
• 8 hours in working areas;
• 7 hours in living spaces;
• 7 hours in sleeping rooms

This shows the importance of the indoor-climate for the health and the well-being.

WHY HYDROCULTURE IS IMPORTANCE?

DO YOU KNOW?

According to NASA’s studies, the entire building materials contribute to the phenomenon known as “sick building syndrome”.

The research done by NASA has covered that most of the building nowadays is contributing to the “sick building syndrome”. The sick building syndrome was cause by plastics tree, electric matters, and electronic because these materials produce formaldehyde, carbon dioxide. This syndrome will effects human health.

DO YOU KNOW??

The analysis from the university and NASA shows that a 30 square meter room can be cleansed by 3 to 6 hydroculture plants acting as natural pollution filters (1-2 plants per 100 square feet). These day people chose man-made air cleaners as an effective ways to prevent indoor air pollution. But, now people must thing of the natural air cleaners that are more effective than the man-made air cleaners. This Mother Nature(hydroculture) was providing us the best cure and natural solution because “Houseplants is The Lungs of the Earth”. In homes, working areas, offices or any indoor space, the air can be polluted by the evaporation of construction materials, furniture, carpeting, electric appliances or tobacco-smoke. By now it has been proven that plants function as a biological filter for pollutants.
