Air Purifiers

Several studies and researches have shown that certain real indoor plants can improve the air quality in homes and confined spaces by absorbing dangerous toxic chemicals like benzene and formaldehyde from the air while adding oxygen. Placing real plants like spider plants, peace lilies, snake plants, golden pathos, gerberas, and azaleas in the living room or kitchen will act as natural air filters removing air pollutants that come with paper bags, waxed papers, glue, paint, napkins, synthetic fabrics, and detergent. Whereas, plants such as succulents, orchids, and bromeliads release oxygen at night making them the perfect plants to freshen up your bedroom and cozy spaces.

Moreover, real plants release moisture into the air that helps regulate the humidity levels in indoor spaces, especially where heaters or air conditioners are used. House plants with broad leaves like monstera, elephant ear plant, and fiddle leaf fig function as a natural humidifier and are helpful in adding moisture to your space maintaining healthy humidity levels throughout different seasons.

Stress Relievers

There is no denying the fact that plants are the perfect relaxants that bring in a soothing and refreshing aura to their surroundings. Working with real plants and caring for them can be therapeutic for people suffering from anxiety, depression, restlessness, and trauma. Flowering plants such as jasmine and lavender are known to release chemicals that reduce stress levels and anxiety. However, just being around plants and seeing them has a calming effect on people as well. Hence, using fake plants that look real has the same stress busting and relaxing benefits as they usher in that lovely outdoorsy vibe. Opt for lush faux evergreen plants and use artificial grass mats and greenery wall panels to creatively incorporate house plants into your interior design to release tension, wash away your worries, and improve the state of mind.

They also tend to be more caring and empathetic towards others. Thus, placing a few faux potted plants on your nightstand or accent tables can instantly boost your mood.

Creativity Stimulators & Productivity Enhancers

Keeping a simple house plant does not only have health benefits but also has a positive impact on various aspects of life. Since indoor plants can significantly lower stress hormones, introducing colorful plants like croton, caladium, Coleus plants, and fake succulents in your home office or work place can boost up productivity and get the creative juices flowing. The calming influence of indoor plants can help you concentrate better by extending your attention span keeping you focused on the task for a much longer time period which results in increased efficiency.
