How plants can be amazing for your health

Houseplants are good for your health — and not just for their visual beauty. Why? They essentially do the opposite of what we do when we breathe: release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. This not only freshens up the air, but also eliminates harmful toxins. Research shows that houseplants can remove up to 87% of toxins in the air in as little as 24 hours! Studies have also proven that indoor plants improve concentration and productivity (by up to 15 percent!), reduce stress levels and boost your mood which means they don't only look cute in your home but also benefit you as well! Plants can help you at work as well. Having plants, especially those with broad leaves, on your desk at work can help regulate humidity and increase levels of positivity. Seeing greenery and nature helps us to feel more relaxed and calm, which in turn benefits your every day mood. You will feel so much more positive and relaxed even in the most stressful work conditions. Indoor plants serve a practical and aesthetic purpose, and can be a great decor piece for any empty corner or shelf you are trying to fill but they can and WILL enhance your life.

Do you want to create your own indoor plant sanctuary? YOU SHOULD.

An indoor garden can be your escape and serenity from the outside world, and for many people it is a great source of happiness. Whether you live in a small apartment, or a large house, by introducing certain plants into your home, you will start to notice improvements to your health, and your overall well-being. As well as enhancing your mood and creating a living space that is soothing to be in, plants can also help with loneliness and depression: caring for a living thing gives us a purpose and is rewarding — especially when you see that living thing bloom and thrive. Giving yourself something to take care of is also good for the mind, having something to care for and giving yourself a routine of watering a plant or plants everyday can increase happiness and help with time management.
