benefits of houseplants in the home
Plants reduce stress
Research has shown that having plants in your home reduces stress. Being able to see the greenery of plants around you has a calming effect, lowering blood pressure and consequently making you feel more relaxed and ultimately, happier.
Plants in the home can fend off a blocked nose
Simply having plants around your living space can help reduce your chance of catching colds and having a stuffy nose by up to 30%. Plants do this as their foliage increases the humidity and removes airborne dust particles. Not to be sneezed at, quite literally.
Plants have air-cleaning qualities around the home
Plants not only collect dust particles, but they also break down harmful substances in the atmosphere. Among other things, they reduce carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen. Healthy humidity also improves the quality of the air in your house. A study by NASA shows that types of plants such as Epipremnum and Spathiphyllum are especially talented air-purifying plants.
NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
