Office plant subscriptions in Kenya

Supply and maintain an agreed office plant collection with clear replacement terms.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional office subscription: place six supplier-owned plants—three identified pothos and three snake plants—in approved locations for one month, with four scheduled care visits and a condition-based replacement policy. Deliver an asset/location map, species care notes and a monthly exception report. The monthly fee is for display assets and defined care, not ownership transfer. Decorative outer pots, damage/theft terms, weekend access and replacement limits must be specified; no air-quality, productivity or health outcome is promised.

Who is the first customer?

Small offices seeking consistent greenery without managing every pot.

Test the offer

Pilot a few suitable plants in one office zone.
