1. Plants can boost your productivity 👩🏻💻
Research suggests that looking at nature can shift the brain into a
different processing mode,
making people feel more relaxed and better able to concentrate.
This, in turn, promotes a greater sense of creativity while working on
projects and result in increased effectiveness and enduring
efficiencies.
2. Plants can improve your mental health. 💆🏻♀️
Among many benefits of plants,
improving mental health is the most important.
Potting and taking care of indoor plants can divert your mind, and
watching the plant grow daily gives you a sense of the life around you.
Humans are social beings who love to connect, even with plants.
3. Plants improve the quality of indoor air 🍃
A NASA study showed that plants
clean the air in a closed, limited environment or chamber.
Other studies have confirmed that plants can remove harmful gases, such
as formaldehyde, called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which have
a long history of health impacts.
Philodendron White Wizard
Philodendron White Wizard
☀️ Medium to bright indirect sunlight
💧 Water the soil thoroughly after the soil is almost completely
dry.
💡 Philodendrons with variegated leaves must receive enough
light to help maintain the light color.
Monstera Deliciosa
Monstera Deliciosa
☀️ Thrives in bright to medium indirect light.
💧 Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between
waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less
often in lower light
💡 Monsteras can benefit from filtered water or water left out
overnight before using.
Ficus Elastica
Ficus Elastica
☀️ Loves bright, indirect sun
💧 Every week in summer; every two weeks in winter
💡 Is very sensitive to dry air so don’t place her near a
heating or air vent. Mist regularly – you can never spray her
too much.
Pothos Epipremnum Aureum
Pothos Epipremnum Aureum
☀️ Low light to bright light. No direct sun, which will burn
foliage. Although pothos will tolerate low light, it will have
more leaves and better variegation if kept in bright light.
💧 Allow the top 1-in (2.5 cm) of soil to dry between waterings.
💡 Show off those beautiful trailing stems in a hanging planter.
Begonia Erythrophylla
Begonia Erythrophylla
☀️ Can handle a variation of conditions since it has hybrid
qualities. It can handle full sun and being outdoors or partial
sun/indirect light, and being indoors.
💧 Water the soil when it gets dry.
💡 When you water the beefsteak begonia, make sure to direct the
water as closer to the soil as possible; they don’t like it when
their leaves get wet.
Tradescantia Zebrina
Tradescantia Zebrina
☀️ Give it plenty of indirect light to keep its stripes.
💧 It prefers consistently moist soil, but let it dry a bit in
between waterings
💡 It's a great choice for all types of plant parents, as it's
relatively forgiving and requires minimal care.
