How about turning your workspace into a green paradise with a MacBook? Plant lovers, it's that easy to add a fresh touch to your workspace, boost your productivity, and bring a little nature to your desk! A desk surrounded by plants will revitalize your spirit, and here are some tips for working in harmony with your MacBook.
Why Should You Choose a Planted Workspace?
Plants don’t just add an aesthetic touch; they also improve your concentration, purify the air, and reduce stress levels. In fact, according to one study, an office environment full of plants can increase employee productivity by up to 15%! They also provide a visual space where you can take a natural break and rest your eyes from long hours in front of a screen.
Which Plants Are Ideal for a Workspace?
In environments such as offices or desks, plants that do not require maintenance and can grow with low light should be preferred. Here are the suggestions:
- Snake Plant (Sansevieria) : Cleans toxins in the air, durable.
- Love Ladder (Boston Fern) : Humidifies the air and does not want direct sunlight.
- Cacti and Succulents : They do not require frequent watering and live happily even in low light.
- Spider Plant : Resistant to light emitted by computers.
Tips for Plant and MacBook Harmony in Your Workspace
1. Table Layout: Use Plants Balanced
Desk layout is important when placing plants alongside your MacBook. Plants positioned to the side, not too close to your screen, will help relieve eye strain. You can also choose corners that receive natural light to nourish your plants with light.
2. Plant Stands and Shelves
If you need more space, keep your desk open by placing your plants on wall shelves. This will both free up space when working on your MacBook and add aesthetic appeal. You can also place tall plants on the edge of your desk and keep smaller cacti next to the screen.
3. Hide the Wires: Balance Plants and Technology
Getting rid of cable clutter in a plant-filled area provides peace of mind. Using products like KraftCover’s ProCord Leather Cable Organizer for cables can create a stylish look while also creating a space that is in harmony with the plants. This way, you can prevent cables from getting tangled in your plants!
4. Maintain Heat and Humidity Balance
Plants are a natural source of humidity, but hot MacBook fans can negatively impact them. You can protect your plants by keeping them away from the direct blowing of the fan. Plants with particularly delicate leaves are a good idea to place on table stands or side shelves.

Plant Care Tips: Balance Digital and Natural Life
1. Follow Your Water
Don't forget to water your plants; but be careful! Desktop plants usually need less watering. Watering once a week is usually enough. You can also place a small watering canister nearby for plants that need high humidity.
2. Weekly Leaf Cleaning
Keep your plants dust-free just as you would your MacBook. You can clean their leaves with a damp cloth once a week to keep them shiny and shiny.
3. Rotate Your Plants
Rotate your plants occasionally, depending on which corner of your desk gets the most light. This will ensure they receive equal light and grow healthily.
Moments When Plants Boost Creativity
A space surrounded by plants not only increases work efficiency but also creativity. Studies show that plants can increase creativity by up to 45% in addition to their stress-reducing effect. So when you’re feeling stuck, take a short break and rejuvenate yourself by taking care of your plants.
Bonus: Create Mini "Zen" Moments with Plants
If you want to create a mini Zen garden in the world of digital screens, you can add a small succulent or bonsai to your desktop. Here are some creative ideas:
- You can relax yourself in times of stress by making a small zen garden.
- You can increase focus by adding a light scent to your desk with scented plants such as lavender.
