The hotel lobby

How can plants welcome arrivals in a generous public space?

6 individually potted plants. Select any photograph to open that plant's existing guide.

Placement and growing conditions

Why this group works here.

Use generous but clearly defined growing stations outside luggage routes and fire exits. The largest plant needs real light at its crown, not merely bright decorative ceiling lights. Plan staff access for watering and inspection when the lobby is quiet, with drainage managed away from public floors.

The message behind the grouping

Meaning, with a little thought.

Palms and broad leaves can express a generous welcome, and restrained flowers can mark an occasion. Cultural good wishes should never be presented as a promise about the business.

Kentia Palm
In this design: a generous welcome.
Arching fronds provide a tall outline; leave enough width for their natural sweep.
Broadleaf Lady Palm
In this design: composure and hospitality.
Place the divided fans where they soften an edge without projecting into a walkway.
Rubber Tree
In this design: durability and resolve.
Broad glossy leaves offer a strong visual anchor; keep the crown lit from more than one direction.
Guiana Chestnut
In this design: good wishes for a new beginning.
A palmately leafed crown gives an upright focal point; the familiar gift association is cultural, not a promise of wealth.
Flamingo Flower
In this design: hospitality and generosity.
A colored spathe offers a focal accent in bright filtered light; it is not a substitute for a suitable root environment.
Dwarf Peace Lily
In this design: a considerate welcome.
White spathes make a light accent against green foliage; check its own mix rather than sharing a watering schedule.
