Five Ways Indoor Plants Will Change Your Life
an indoor area is sometimes just as simple as adding a plant or two to
the space. In addition to adding life and a pop of color to an area,
they also offer many health benefits to those around them.
Here are the top Five ways indoor plants can improve your life:
- Indoor plants put a smile on your face. – House and
indoor plants are known to contribute to a feeling of comfort and well-being, making people feel more optimistic and calmer. Recent studies
have shown that patients who are placed in a hospital room that is
facing the outdoors or a garden often recovery more rapidly than those
facing a wall.
- They purify and clean the air. – Countless studies
performed by esteemed research establishments, such as NASA, have proved
that plants can help eliminate potentially harmful volatile organic
compounds (or VOCs), carbon dioxide, benzene, formaldehyde, and other
dangerous gasses from indoor air. Many of these chemicals and compounds
have been linked to headaches, nausea, respiratory problems, and may
other issues. - Plants can improve your sleep. – Studies have shown
that the vapors from some plants, especially lavender and jasmine, may
lead to a more restful sleep. Keeping one of these plants by the bed or
on a night stand may help calm some people move into a state of
tranquility and help prepare the body for a good night’s sleep. - They can help improve focus. – Placing a plant on a
desk or in a home office has been known to increase focus and
productivity, allowing people to accomplish more with less stress. The
Journal of Environmental Horticulture recently published a study that
reported that plants are able to help employees and workers complete
tasks more efficiently and with more focus. - Indoor plants look great. – Sometimes decorations
for a home or office just do not feel complete without a plant. Hanging
planters are great additions to many different areas, while planters on
stands make the most out of awkward corner area. Trailing plants
looks amazing as a cascading addition to the tops of cabinets and
bookcases. Plant walls are another great way to add plants to an area
that is lacking in space.
