Indoor Plants: Great Reasons You Should Have Them

May 16, 2012 4:01 pm

If you’re looking to spruce up your living space, a great way to do that is to invest in one or more indoor plants. You’ll enjoy the burst of color, the fresh scent, and the improved air quality. Read on to learn more about the many health benefits of indoor plants:

Stave off Colds
A little-known fact about indoor plants is that they can help people fight colds and related illnesses because of their air purifying qualities. In fact, some studies have even shown that they can reduce the frequency of colds a person experiences by as much as 30%. This is largely because they increase humidity levels and reduce the amount of dust present in the air. 
 
Clear the Air
Indoor plants can improve the air quality in your home in a variety of ways. The can remove airborne pollutants that contribute to headaches and allergies, reduce the level of drowsiness-causing carbon dioxide in the air, and help offset other airborne chemicals. They can also act as natural humidifiers so that you don’t have to buy a machine to add moisture to the air.
 
Get Happy
Studies have shown the indoor plants can help people fight depression. They can contribute to a feeling of well-being, calmness, and optimism. Also, studies have revealed that, because indoor plants often require regular tending, they can give people a healthy sense of purpose and responsibility that comes with caring for a living thing.
 
Less Stress
Researches have argued that greenery calms human beings down, an evolutionary response dating back to our earliest days on the planet. Some indoor plants, like Chinese evergreens, Arrowhead vines, and Devil’s Ivy have even been shown to cause a measurable decrease in systolic blood pressure levels. 
 
Boost Productivity
Indoor plants can not only improve your home but they can also have major positive benefits for your workplace as well. More and more major corporations and work environments have been including indoor plants in their office décor because studies have shown that they can boost employee morale and overall productivity.
