We recently jumped on board with adding house plants to our chaotic tribe. Now that we are finished installing floors, sanding our island/table/chairs, and adding new furniture; we feel safe with bringing plants into the home. We are starting off with a few green babies before making room and budgeting for friends of a larger scale.

Why House Plants?

House plants not only add decorative desire to a home, but also work to purify air, ease stress, and reduce congestion/allergies.

Time Management:

If you want the responsibility of a living thing, but don’t have the time to go for walks, vacuum hair, or set out food 2x per day, then think about adopting a houseplant. Houseplants need water every so often, come with tags that help you determine whether to place them in bright or dim spaces, as well boosting your sense of well-being, because you build self worth being a care taker.

Decrease Stress Levels:

Studies show that having houseplants in one’s sight while they work, clean, host, prep, cook, or entertain can lower stress levels, blood pressure, as well as reduce headaches or migraines.

Decor:

Adopt a houseplant if you are in need of some color or something different to jazz up a space. Houseplants are wonderful touches to help liven and brighten up an area.

Natural Air Cleanser:

Houseplants help to purify the air in your home, as well as deodorizing. If you have a fur-baby, then you should consider a houseplant to help fight unwanted odor. Houseplants decrease illness, allergies, and are said to assist with sleep or rest if nearby in bedroom.
