Most Toronto office plant maintenance plans start around CAD $300–$600/month for smaller offices and scale with square footage, plant count, and whether your office buys or rents the plants. Here's the full breakdown.
The two ways office plant service is priced
- Maintenance-only — you own the plants; you pay a monthly fee for visits (watering, pruning, cleaning, health checks). Best if you've already invested in plants and want professional care going forward.
- Rental + maintenance (all-inclusive) — you rent the plants and care is bundled in. A one-time setup fee covers design and installation; ongoing monthly rental covers everything after that, including free replacements. Best for offices that want it fully hands-off with no capital outlay.
What drives the cost
- Number and size of plants — a few desk plants vs. a lobby full of floor trees.
- Visit frequency — monthly is standard; weekly costs more but suits high-traffic lobbies.
- Plant types — hardy plants like Epipremnum aureum (pothos) cost less to maintain than fussy or large specimens.
- Living walls — beautiful, but more labour-intensive than potted plants.
- Replacements — with a good provider these are included; with a cheap one they're not.
- Location — downtown towers with loading-dock logistics can add a little.

Is it worth it?
Consider what it replaces: staff time spent watering and chasing dead plants, the cost of repeatedly replacing plants that didn't survive, and the impression a half-dead lobby makes on clients. A professional maintenance plan keeps your office consistently green for a predictable monthly cost — usually less than the hidden cost of doing it poorly in-house.
FAQ
What's the cheapest way to have office plants? Buying a few hardy plants and maintaining them in-house — but it only stays cheap if they survive. A maintenance plan is cheaper than repeatedly replacing dead plants. If budget is a priority, low-light plants are your most resilient starting point.
Is renting or buying better? Renting spreads the cost, includes a setup fee, and covers replacements in the monthly rental. Buying is cheaper long-term if you can keep the plants healthy. Most mid-size Toronto offices prefer rental for the predictability and zero maintenance burden.
Are there hidden costs? With Benji's, no — design, installation, and replacements are included in the monthly fee. Prices shown do not include HST.
How often do you visit? Monthly visits are standard. Weekly visits are available for high-traffic lobbies and premium installations.
