The Benefits of Houseplants
Article written by: Trenton Fergen, Tree & Shrub Manager
Tropical house plants provide the perfect way to renew a home’s atmosphere. And they can also provide more than just aesthetics.
House plants have been proven to help create a healthy indoor environment. In particular, houseplants:
- Clean indoor air of toxins by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen
- Release humidity into our otherwise very dry air, which improves breathing comfort
- Connect us to nature which reduces stress and boosts our mood
These are just some of the reasons to bring plants into our homes. Try some of these particularly beneficial varieties: snake plant, spider plant, pothos, fig, and peace lily.
