Why Houseplants are the Best!
Houseplants give me purpose and they are my friends
Can growing houseplant really help turn our homes, schools and workplaces into better places to be? It is a question that numerous scientific studies have explored and results are now shedding light on the matter. Indoor plants offer two potential benefits for us: improved psychological (mental) well-being and improved physical human health (i.e. they support fitness and general health).
The psychological benefits of indoor plants have been shown as:- An improved mood
- Increased worker productivity
- Increased speed of reaction in a computer task
- Improved attention span (in some scientific studies, but not all)
- Reduced stress levels
- Increased pain tolerance
