Plants have the power to liven up any space, but their visual appeal isn’t the only reason to welcome them into your home. They also come with a long list of surprising benefits and can do wonders for both your physical and mental health.
Air Quality
If you feel like the air quality in your apartment isn’t amazing or you wish you could improve it in a natural way, houseplants can be used to freshen up the air naturally by producing oxygen and increasing humidity.
Stress Relief
Plants have the power to brighten up your mood and make you feel more relaxed. Studies have shown that people doing desk jobs feel more comfortable, soothed, and natural with plants around, and that’s why they’re an amazing work-from-home companion.
Better Focus
In addition to having therapeutic properties, and helping you deal with stress and anxiety, houseplants can also sharpen your attention. There are indications that having greenery around you makes it easier to focus on the task at hand.
Faster Recovery
One study also suggested that having plants around can speed up the healing process. People recovering from illness and injury had a tendency to recover faster and leave the hospital sooner if they were surrounded by greenery.
