WONDERFUL REASONS FOR BUILDING UP YOUR HOUSEPLANT COLLECTION.
House plants as well as being lovely to look at are known to increase oxygen levels and help purify the air. As humans we mostly remain indoors. Whether it is at home, at the movies, in the pub, or at work we spend the majority of our time indoors. It protects us from the external elements, and not just the weather. This of course means the air we are breathing is more polluted and causes problems such as making us sick. Ever notice how you always seem to get a bit of a cold after recently being on an air plane? With a few plants we can have more of that nice fresh clean air. Plants do this by absorbing the CO2 (carbon dioxide) and giving off oxygen. Most plants do this process through the day but there are some plants such as orchids that can do it over throughout the night. Plants also scrub harm gases out the air of as well as help fight pollution!
They improve our sense of well being. House plants are a wonderful tool for decorating with. Its hard to go wrong. Bringing nature indoors helps us to relax. Try it out for your self...
