6 reasons to buy more plants
Nature provides serenity, peace, and calm. Humans feel an undeniable sense of tranquillity when surrounded by nature, so why not bring that into your home? We’ve put together six reasons why plants are worth investing in, from benefiting your health to providing a visual escape.
1.Breathe in nature.
Humans breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Plants do the opposite, making plants and people a perfect pair. Refresh the air around you by adding plants to your interior spaces; plants are much better at keeping the air clean than any man-made air-purifier. Make sure your plants are performing their best at this by keeping their leaves clean and allowing them to receive natural sunlight.
2. Bring your ‘A game’ to interior design
Not only do plants brighten up your surroundings, they can also brighten your mood. Plants increase your connectivity to the natural environment and enhance the overall aesthetics of your home. An easy way to fill those empty corners in your home, plants create a sense of liveliness throughout.
3. Positive vibes only
Being close to nature has been linked to having positive mental health benefits. Studies have found that people are less nervous and anxious when they are around indoor plants or have a view of nature. Plants also have a sense of peace about them and help you feel less boxed in, especially if you don’t have a big garden in your backyard.
4. Improve focus and productivity.
It’s also been found that employee productivity can increase by 15 per cent when plants are introduced into the office. Plants reduce stress and improve calmness and wellbeing, which in turn allow you to better focus and be more creative. So if you work from home or have school-age kids, plants can help to boost your drive throughout your day, helping you get things done!
5. Get a green thumb
Growing herbs in your kitchen can improve the overall aesthetic of the space, as well as enhance your cooking! Herbs like chives, mint, parsley and basil are easy to grow indoors, and many of us use them in our cooking regularly – a win-win! Grow herbs like mint to help with digestion, parsley to support bone health, and basil to boost immunity.
6.Proud ‘plant mum’ moments
Caring for and nurturing plants can have remarkable effects on one’s quality of life. There are certain feelings of accomplishment and companionship that come with taking care of plants. So, start your journey to becoming a plant-parent, and feel proud of your achievements!
