There’s none of that watering every day or adding miracle grow when it looks like it’s about to die on you, but it really is about time that everyone realizes the benefits having real indoor plants.
Now, I’m not saying you need to surround yourself with plants so that your home becomes a green house, just a couple here and there will reap the benefits.

They filter, purify and clean the air, they absorb toxins through their leaves and they emit beautiful. How nice of them, right? And they can do all that just by sitting there!
Many of companies have landscaped their office interiors with plants large and small, is there something they know that you don’t…?

Real indoor plants.
Yes I said it, real indoor plants; but don’t be put off by this
thought. I know, I know, artificial plants are so much easier to look
after and can look just as good as real plants.There’s none of that watering every day or adding miracle grow when it looks like it’s about to die on you, but it really is about time that everyone realizes the benefits having real indoor plants.
Now, I’m not saying you need to surround yourself with plants so that your home becomes a green house, just a couple here and there will reap the benefits.

Indoor plants are not only limited to houses, indoor office plants are becoming an integral part of any office.Home & Office Benefits
More and more companies are realizing the benefits and harvesting the rewards that come with them. As we all know, well some of us know, plants improve the quality of air we breathe. Many of us sit in a building all day, so having these plants indoors will improve our air quality.They filter, purify and clean the air, they absorb toxins through their leaves and they emit beautiful. How nice of them, right? And they can do all that just by sitting there!

- Extensive research has shown that indoor plants have a calming effect, reducing stress levels. Pulse rates and blood pressures were reduced when workers were sat in a planted area, especially those sat behind a computer screen for more than 4 hours a day.
- Did you know the interior environment can be 5-7 times more polluted than the outside environment? Because plants return over 90% of the water we give them, back into the atmosphere, they clean our air, reducing staff illness significantly.

- Most office buildings are lacking fresh air and natural light. Workers will often complain of headaches, blocked sinuses and dry throats, these common complaints were decreased by an impressionable 25% due to having plants around. If you’re in management, wouldn’t it be great if your workers took less sick days?
- Now, all of us have been there, that constant humming sound, background chatter and office equipment whirring when you are trying to work, research has shown that plants reduce noise.
- I know, it sounds pretty unbelievable, but they do play a huge part in noise reduction. As for the science behind it… Plants absorb, then diffract and reflect sound waves, resulting in reduced levels of noise, meaning a calmer, less noisy and more productive working environment.
