Green plants are not only beautiful to look at, but they also have many benefits for your health and well-being. Here are some of the reasons why you should bring nature inside with green plants:
Green plants purify the air.
They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, improving the quality and freshness of the air you breathe. Some plants, such as snake plants, peace lilies, and spider plants, can also filter out harmful toxins and pollutants from the air, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene.
Green plants reduce stress and boost mood.
Studies have shown that having green plants in your environment can lower your blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels, which are associated with stress. They can also enhance your mood, creativity, and productivity, by providing a natural and calming stimulus for your senses.
Green plants improve your indoor climate.
They can help regulate the temperature and humidity of your indoor spaces, by releasing moisture and creating a cooling effect. They can also reduce noise levels, by absorbing and reflecting sound waves. This can make your indoor spaces more comfortable and pleasant to be in.
Green plants add beauty and style to your decor.
They can brighten up any room with their lively and diverse shapes, sizes, and colors. They can also create a sense of harmony and balance, by bringing a touch of nature and organic elements to your artificial and geometric surroundings. You can choose plants that match your personal taste and style and arrange them in creative and attractive ways.
How to choose and care for your green plants
If you are interested in bringing nature inside with green plants, you might wonder how to choose and care for them. Here are some tips to help you:
- Choose plants that suit your indoor conditions.
Different plants have different needs and preferences for light, water, temperature, and soil. You should research the plants you like, and find out what kind of environment they thrive in. You should also consider the size and growth rate of the plants, and how much space you have for them.
- Choose plants that are easy to maintain.
Some plants are more demanding and sensitive than others and require more attention and care. If you are a beginner or have a busy schedule, you might want to opt for plants that are hardy and resilient and can tolerate some neglect. Some examples of easy-care plants are succulents, cacti, snake plants, and ZZ plants.
- Choose plants that are safe for you and your pets.
Some plants can be toxic or irritating to humans and animals, and can cause allergic reactions, skin rashes, or digestive problems. You should avoid plants that are known to be poisonous, such as oleander, lily of the valley, and dieffenbachia. You should also keep your plants out of reach of your children and pets, or choose plants that are non-toxic, such as spider plants, African violets, and orchids.
- Water your plants regularly, but not too much.
One of the most common mistakes people make with their plants is overwatering them, which can cause root rot and fungal infections. You should check the soil of your plants before watering them, and make sure it is dry to the touch. You should also use a well-drained pot and saucer and avoid letting your plants sit in water for too long.
- Provide enough light for your plants, but not too much.
Another common mistake people make with their plants is exposing them to too much or too little light, which can cause leaf burn, wilting, or yellowing. You should place your plants near a window or a lamp and adjust the distance and direction according to the plant’s needs. You should also rotate your plants occasionally, to ensure even growth and distribution of light.
- Fertilize your plants occasionally, but not too much.
Fertilizing your plants can help them grow faster and healthier, by providing them with essential nutrients and minerals. However, too much fertilizer can also harm your plants, by burning their roots and leaves, or causing salt to buildup in the soil. You should use a balanced and organic fertilizer and follow the instructions on the label. You should also fertilize your plants only during their active growing season and reduce or stop fertilizing during winter or dormancy.
CONCLUSION
Green plants are a wonderful way to bring nature inside your home or office and enjoy the many benefits they offer. They can purify the air, reduce stress, improve your indoor climate, and add beauty and style to your decor. They can also make you happier and healthier, by connecting you with nature and life. With some research and care, you can choose and maintain your green plants, and create your own indoor oasis.
