The Benefits of Plant Parenting

The benefits of having plants inside your home are enormous. Even a small low-maintenance plant will contribute to your health. Let’s dig a little deeper into these amazing benefits!

1. Reduce Stress and Improve Mental Health
   Plants can have many positive effects on us. They provoke feelings of happiness and calm, this helps to improve our mental well being. Plants also regulate the humidity and air temperatures around us and contribute to lowering our blood pressure.


2. Improve Productivity
   Plants are visually pleasing and there are many colors and different foliage. This can lead to inspiration and creativity. Plants can help us feel more connected to our environments by providing elements of personalization.
   
   
3. Lower Background Noise
   While not very well known, plants naturally act as a dampening for loud & ambient noises. Individual plants can absorb, diffract, or reflect background noises and even high frequencies.
   
   
4. Improve Air Quality
   We all know plants produce oxygen, but that also means they can act as air purifiers. They help reduce carbon dioxide levels and certain air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and nitrogen dioxide.
