The indoor plant trend is by no means new. In fact, the indoor plant phenomenon is so booming that recent studies have shown they make a house feel like a calming oasis, as well as looking stunning. But, navigating the world of plants is no easy feat. With a plethora of hanging greens and lively florals to choose from, it can be difficult to pinpoint which plant is exactly right for you and your home.
According to a study by Harvard University conducted over an eight-year period found women who lived in areas with more greenery had a 12% lower mortality rate than those with less. The study also found there was improved mental health and higher social and physical activity. One study discovered results that suggested interactions with indoor plants can reduce stress compared to hard mental work. While another found that participants were less anxious when in a workplace with indoor plants or windows with a view of nature.
Other benefits to having an abundance of indoor plants include air purification, better sleep and they also are great at blocking out noise!
