Giant Wave Alocasia carries broad glossy leaves, pronounced veins and deeply rippled edges, creating an almost sculptural tropical silhouette. One plant is enough to anchor a lounge, dining area or reception. Give it bright, indirect light away from harsh direct sun.

Ruffled Fan Palm
Styled Dragon Tree
Umbrella Fig
Umbrella Fig lifts broad, heart-shaped leaves into an airy, sculptural canopy for a lounge, entrance or reception. Its soft outline reads beautifully against warm white walls, timber and pale stone. Choose approx. 160 cm or 240 cm to suit your space.
Keep it warm in bright, indirect light, clear of harsh sun and air-conditioning draughts. Water thoroughly once the compost surface begins to dry, then let it drain fully. Wear gloves when pruning — the milky sap can irritate skin.

Which plants work well in Hong Kong offices?
Choose by window light, floor space and who will look after them. For a reception with window light, try Giant Bird of Paradise or Fiddle-Leaf Fig. Corn Plant, Money Tree and Song of Jamaica suit open-plan areas. Dwarf Umbrella Tree fits a bright corner. Avoid air-conditioning vents, and plan grow lights for windowless spots.
A focal point for the reception area
With bright daylight, Bird of Paradise or Fiddle Leaf Fig can create a clear focal point. Measure the spread of the foliage—not only the pot—and keep the visitor route clear.
Keep office care manageable
Assign one person to check the compost and water according to the species. Keep plants away from air-conditioning outlets. In a windowless room, plan for a suitable grow light: ordinary ceiling lights may not provide enough light.

Before you order
Can plants grow in a windowless office?
Plan for a suitable grow light. Shade tolerance does not mean a plant can grow without light, and ordinary ceiling lights may not provide enough.
Can I request an invoice for a company purchase?
Yes. Send us the required billing details so that we can confirm the invoice arrangements.
Should we buy office plants or arrange corporate rental?
Buying suits a team that can manage day-to-day care. If you would like regular maintenance arranged, ask about corporate plant rental.
Will a plant by my desk get in the way?
A suitably sized plant usually won’t. Leave room for walkways and desk space, and avoid leaves brushing monitors or blocking sightlines.
How do I care for office plants over a long holiday?
Water thoroughly before leaving, ensure drainage and move plants out of direct sun. For holidays longer than two weeks, ask a colleague to check the compost.
How long does delivery take in Hong Kong?
Delivery normally takes 3–7 business days after ordering to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, excluding outlying islands. The date still needs confirmation; public holidays and severe weather can cause delays.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is free on orders of HK$1,500 or more; otherwise, it costs HK$200. Direct lift access carries no stair charge; carrying upstairs costs HK$50 per floor. Please ask us about unusual access.
What if my plant arrives with a health issue?
Contact us within seven days with your order number and photographs of the plant. Claims are handled under the returns policy; the health promise does not cover every reason for an exchange.
