PLANTS IMPROVE AIR QUALITY

Having indoor house plants can improve the quality of air in your home by reducing carbon dioxide levels, keeping air temperatures down and releasing humidity and certain pollutants.

This will not only help you breathe better, but it will also help you feel better.

PLANTS ARE NATURAL HUMIDIFIERS

Indoor plants can act as natural humidifiers.

The pores on the underside of leaves essentially release sweat, which therefore adds moisture to the air.

This process is called transpiration. This process will allow your home to have the proper amount of humidity balance.

PLANTS IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH

If you are looking to be more positive, secure and relaxed, getting indoor house plants is a great way to do that.

Plants can help to improve our mental health and by caring for another living thing you will be given a sense of purpose and accomplishment. I even named my Fiddle Leaf Fig, her name is Frannie and she is beautiful as you can see in the instagram photo above.

Indoor plants are a natural mood booster and can greatly improve your mental health.
