The Benefits of Houseplants
Most people like the look of houseplants, but don’t want the responsibility of taking care of them or think that they can’t. Choosing the right plants can help you keep them alive, and there are some serious benefits to taking care of plants. Aside from just looking nice, there are tons of benefits to having plants inside.
Cleaner Air
Many plants can rid the air inside of our homes of toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. Just like plants outside can improve our air quality, the same can happen indoors. Depending on the size of the plants and how many are in each room, you may notice a dramatic improvement in overall air quality in your home. That can translate into better physical health and fewer illnesses.
Improved Mental Well-being
Some studies suggest having plants in your home and being surrounded by greenery can improve your mental health. Since we don’t often spend much time with nature, having plants inside the home can help reconnect to the outdoors which has been shown to boost our mood. Also, keeping plants alive, caring for them, and having them successfully thrive can lead to a feeling of accomplishment we may be missing from our lives. Gardening is often helpful for stress relief as it allows you to focus on the processes of planting and caring for plants.
Unique Décor
Since indoor plants are in a temperature-controlled environment, you can have some very vibrant plants typically found in tropical environments and warmer climates that might not be suitable for the outdoors where you live. Tropical plants like bromeliads, monstera, and palms can often thrive in lower light conditions and offer brilliant foliage to decorate any room. The greens, reds, and oranges of many tropical indoor plants along with interesting leaf shapes make plants a great way to decorate with something that looks beautiful and provides many other benefits as well.
Useful Herbs
For people who are passionate about cooking, fresh herbs are always preferred over dried ones for the fresh and powerful flavor. However, they can be expensive and difficult to keep in your kitchen for more than a few days. By growing your herbs indoors, you can have fresh herbs whenever you want. Herbs like basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano thrive in sunny windows all year long. Simply pluck the herbs as you need them and enjoy the fresh taste of your favorite herbs all years long.
