Most people cannot say why the greenery in one room stays with them and the greenery in another disappears. It is rarely the quality of the piece. It is a short list of decisions taken in the room, with a tape measure, before anything is built.
Greenery in a shop has one job and one rule. The job is to pull a passing eye in from the walkway. The rule is that it must never stand between that eye and the product.
Two and a half metres sounds like a decision until you stand in the room with a tape measure. Here is how a made-to-measure tree is sized to a specific corner: floor-to-ceiling height, free width, where the planter steals height, and why a 2.2 m tree for a hallway is a different object from a 2.2 m tree for a lobby.

Dry dusting, cool air, a damp cloth on the large leaves, and what never to use. How to clean large artificial trees and outdoor anti-UV pieces, how often, and the one-leaf test that tells you when cleaning is no longer enough.
Green fills volume; colour decides where people look. A practical guide to using blossom, bougainvillea, fruit and autumn tones in artificial greenery — how much is enough, which colours hold up under real lighting, and how to plan a piece that can change through the year.
A tired canopy is rarely the end of a tree. What can be re-leafed, reshaped, re-anchored or rebuilt years after installation — what genuinely cannot — and a five-minute test to work out which one you are looking at.
