Don't forget to visit our Plant Care page
for some tips on caring for your indoor
plants
When is an asset
not an asset?
When looking at an asset ask yourself:
•
Does it have the potential to increase in
value?
•
Does it incur a greater cost than it can
potentially generate in income?
•
Does it reduce exposure to a contingent
liability?
•
Does it facilitate production?
If the answer to all of the above is 'No'
then you no longer have asset on your hands
but a liability.
If you have artificial plants in your premises
it's a good time to see how they rate as
assets.
•
Clearly they are not about to increase in
value.
•
They require cleaning although how often
and thoroughly depends on your company's
hygiene.
•
They certainly take up space.
•What
benefit they produce other than a doubtful
aesthetic one has never been established.
•
In case of fire they will only add to your
problems*.
Is there be any real claim for their facilitating
production?
**.
Can artificial simulants lay similar claim
by extension? According to Prof. Craig the
answer is a resounding no.
Indeed not even good art can produce the
hitherto unexplained positive response of
people in the work place to the presence
of plants.
You may not even be conscious of whether
what you are looking at is real or artificial
but you certainly won't get the same response
from artificial as you will from the real
thing.
The truth is that the human animal is far
more complicated, far more aware and far
more discerning than we can even imagine.
Isn't it time you bit the bullet?
Get rid of the artificial,
go real, get a life.
