Indoor plants have become a popular trend, but did you know they have far more benefits than just being a gorgeous decorative piece?

Indoor plants actually provide us with excellent health benefits, from cleaner air to a better night’s sleep! 

See how you could take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of flowers and potted plants in your home, all while improving your indoor aesthetic…

Purify the Air
We spend up to 80-90 percent of our time indoors, and as many of us spend time in climate-controlled and air-tight spaces such as offices and apartment buildings it makes it easier to trap toxic gases which could be harmful to our health.
Indoor plants act as natural air purifiers that remove harmful toxins from the air that come from things like rugs, grocery bags, furnishings, clothing, vinyl, sinks, paint and solvent.

Indoor plants remove pollutants either by absorbing them or releasing them back into the air as harmless by-products. 

The best indoor plants to purify the air are:

• Aloe Vera
• Spider Plant
• Peace Lily
• Bamboo Palm
• Snake Plant
• Chrysanthemum

Reduce Stress

Feel overjoyed when you receive a bunch of flowers? You’re not the only one!
Studies prove that being around plants and flowers both comforts us and helps to reduce stress and anxiety.

Flowers are associated with happier times and the bright colours of flowers such as roses, lilies and gerberas are known to instantly enhance moods and impact happiness levels. 

They are even found to lower heart rate and blood pressure, and reduce respiratory problems. 

Place some beautiful indoor plants such as a potted orchid (try Lani, Helena, Pippa, or Exquisite) in living spaces or the home office to help reduce stress and brighten everyone’s day.

Better Sleep

Who doesn’t want a better sleep? Well it turns out the key to a good night’s sleep is as simple as having a plant in your bedroom! 

Plants like Jasmine, Lavender and Aloe Vera are known to increase our quality of sleep. 

Studies show that the vapour from some plants provide a soothing effect on humans. The tranquillity these plants offer help to calm us, helping to lower heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels, putting us into a good state of rest for a better night’s sleep. 

Fight Colds Quicker

The most popular indoor plant of 2018 so far is most definitely succulents. They are the perfect indoor plant, not only because they are adorable and low maintenance, but they even look after us when we’re sick!

Succulents have been known to help reduce symptoms of cold and flu, fever, coughs, fatigue and headaches, thanks to their ability to humidify the air.
