Flowering Bouganvillea Bonsai Tree
Here are a few of the benefits Bonsai trees and their care.
Bonsai plants or trees are simply delightful to have around in a household as they add a whimsical element to the environments in which they are displayed. But these pint-sized pals are more than just fun to look at; they support numerous other physical, spiritual, and personal benefits too. Join me as I go through the benefits of Bonsai trees and plants.
- Purifying Air - 1Through photosynthesis, they convert the carbon dioxide we exhale into fresh oxygen, and they can also remove toxins from the air we breathe. One famous NASA experiment, published in 1989, found that indoor plants can scrub the air of cancer-causing volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde and benzene.
- Lower Your Stress - 2Studies suggest that active interaction with indoor plants can reduce physiological and psychological stress compared with mental work. This is accomplished through suppression of sympathetic nervous system activity and diastolic blood pressure and promotion of comfortable, soothed, and natural feelings.
- Good For General Well-Being - 3An international online survey elicited the meaning of bonsai practice for 255 Bonsai artists. Three instruments were used to report experiences of participants. These findings are significant in that this type of therapy may be easier to use than animal-assisted therapy. It can be especially useful in settings such as psychiatric hospitals, old age homes, orphanages, prisons, etc., as a preventative as well as restorative measure.
- Develops Your Ability Of Patience - 4Bonsai is not an activity for the impatient. It can take years to develop the highly desirable thick trunk structure that tapers beautifully into its terminal point.
