"Plant rental" gets used as one term for two fairly different services, and mixing them up is the most common reason an office ends up with the wrong plan. Indoor rental is a monthly contract for low-light plants inside a building — a lobby, a reception desk, a floor of workstations. Outdoor rental is shorter-term potted greenery for a terrace, courtyard or event.
Indoor rental plants are chosen specifically for low or artificial light and need a scheduled visit — usually weekly or fortnightly — to water, clean leaves of dust, and check for stress. Because office lighting and air conditioning vary a lot floor to floor, the same plant can thrive at one desk and decline at another; a good rental provider replaces the plant rather than just topping up water on a struggling one.
Outdoor rental is closer to event styling: flowering and foliage plants delivered, arranged, and collected on a schedule tied to a date or season, without the same recurring visit structure. It's the right choice for a courtyard refresh, a launch event, or seasonal colour on a campus entrance.
If you're speaking to a vendor about "renting some plants for the office," it's worth clarifying upfront which of the two you mean — the pricing, plant selection and visit schedule are different enough that a generic quote usually reflects one or the other, not both.
