Having plants in your home has become H a big trend over the years - you'll often see luscious floral indoors in decor magazines and social media posts. It's hard for it not to rub off on us, because what is there not to love about having them in your space? But there's more than meets the eye... Research shows that having indoor plants has various benefits.
BREAKING DOWN THE BENEFITS
1. Purifies the air
One of the key perks of having plants in your home is their ability to purify the air and absorb carbon dioxide, all while releasing oxygen. In fact, a study by NASA showed results that indoor plants can remove 87% of toxins out of the air in a day's time. And don't be hesitant to add flora to your bedroom out of fear that it will compromise your oxygen levels at night, as there are various plant species that release oxygen during the evenings.
2. Improves mood and also mental health
If you're looking for something to boost your mood and ease the stress, making plants part of your interior space might just do the trick. Studies have been conducted proving that indoor flora and the tasks that come with having them soothes stress and mental health issues, such as anxiety, dementia and depression. Houseplants are natural pick-me-ups and will uplift your mood. So, don't look at indoor gardening tasks as a chore. Instead, it could be a therapeutic moment.
