Filling your living space with leafy green indoor plants isn’t just easy on the eye and soothing to the soul – it’s good for your health, too. Scientists have proven that particular plants absorb toxic gases through the pores in their leaves and help to clean and freshen up the air we breathe.
As well as being a welcome pop of green, indoor plants can literally bring fresh air into your home. When scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) started looking for ways to improve the poor air quality in spaceships, they found a simple solution: house plants.
Modern living means the average house is also susceptible to contaminated air. Gases like carbon dioxide, benzene and formaldehyde can be emitted by common household items, including cosmetics, detergents, plastics, furnishings and fabrics. Luckily, nature’s got your back.
Indoor plants can also be edible, calming and colourful, bringing the natural world into your everyday interiors and balance to your urban environments. As with all gardens, your indoor plants will thrive best on TLC and soothing music.
