Meet The Team: Ermis - Managing a Living Inventory at Plantclub
At Plantclub, plants aren’t products — they’re living, breathing members of our team.
Behind every thriving office jungle is careful planning, thoughtful logistics, and a deep respect for plant health. And at the heart of it all is Ermis, our Operations Manager.
We sat down with him to talk about what it’s really like to care for plants at scale — and why plant health always comes first.
What Does Plantclub Actually Do?
Plantclub is a full-service plant rental company for modern offices.
We design, deliver, and maintain long-term planting systems that grow with your workspace. From the initial concept and placement strategy to bi-weekly care, repotting, and replacements — we handle the entire lifecycle of the greenery.
Our goal?
To take the weight off office managers’ shoulders.
You get all the benefits of a healthy, design-forward green office — without worrying about watering schedules, plant health, or replacements.
What has surprised you most about working at Plantclub?
“The hands-on nature of the company.”
Plantclub is deeply collaborative. It’s not just about delivery plants — it’s about problem-solving together.
“We’re a tight-knit team. Everyone cares about getting it right. Every installation has to meet our standards — both visually and biologically.”
Because plants are living systems, every project requires attention to detail and real-time adjustments. No two offices are the same.
What is your favorite part of the job?
For Ermis, it’s the connection — both to the plants and to the community.
“Sometimes I get back from work and pass one of our offices and see our plants in the windows… it makes me so happy to see them thriving there.”
He also finds it deeply fulfilling when members share how much their office has “come alive” thanks to the greenery.
And that’s the point.
A well-designed planting system doesn’t just fill space — it changes how a workplace feels.
What is the most challenging part of your role?
“The hardest part? Saying no.”
Because we work with living organisms, plant health always comes first.
That might mean:
Turning down a rushed delivery
Recommending a different plant than the designer initially imagined
Delaying an installation if conditions aren’t right
Speed is important — but sustainability is essential.
Healthy plants require light assessment, long-term planning, and realistic maintenance schedules. Without that foundation, even the most beautiful installation won’t last.
What does a typical day look like for an Operations Manager at Plantclub?
It’s a mix of logistics, quality control, and plant strategy.
Behind the scenes, Ermis oversees:
Daily workflows and team schedules
Plant replacements and rotation planning
Quality checks before every delivery
Ensuring every pot, plant, and installation detail is ready before it leaves the warehouse
Managing a “living inventory” means anticipating growth, seasonal shifts, and long-term plant health — not just fulfilling deliveries.
Bringing the Outside In — Sustainably
Ermis’s passion reflects a simple truth: Offices are better with plants.
Beyond aesthetics, greenery contributes to:
A more vibrant atmosphere
Increased wellbeing
Stronger team connection
A space that feels cared for
At Plantclub, we remove the guesswork and heavy lifting — so your team can focus on what they do best while your living office continues to thrive.
