Do you know of a formula or online calculator that will tell how many plants is the right number to have in an office? Perhaps per sqft or # of people? it just seems that having 18 plants (per some online articles) in an area of 1800 sqft seems little excessive, it will look like a jungle. Unless we are not talking of a plant being one pot. For example, english ivy or pothos, how many plants do you consider to be a normal pot? One? or the number of stems? -- I am doing a project and will like to present proposal to get plants for the office, but need to know what is the right number and back it up.

If you go to that site you will find every question possible EXCEPT for how many plants! To be honest, I don't think there is a plant formula. You just don't want it overwhelming so that visitors think they need a machete to find the water cooler or that a silverback gorilla is going to lumber out any minute.
In a lobby or waiting area less is more just like adding jewelry. In decorating remember the rule of three. One large one in the corner and two on a table for instance. No corner then one medium size and two small on a table. One or two medium size on a credenza and one small on the reception desk. Big reception counter one large, one medium and one small, you get the idea.
