Plant power!

Houseplants not only look beautiful - research shows that they greatly improve your health and wellbeing too!
For centuries the Chinese have used houseplants to create “living energy” in their homes and workplaces. Scientific studies prove that houseplants are good for you - physically, emotionally and psychologically.

They are proven to:

  • Remove harmful chemicals from the air, such as those in paints and varnishes
  • Absorb noise and lessen dust in the home
  • Help hospital patients recover faster
  • Lower blood pressure, help concentration and improve memory
  • Promote feelings of relaxation, calm and well-being
  • Make rooms look cared for and welcoming.

Plants and people are perfect partners - we give out carbon monoxide when we breath out and they give us oxygen through transpiration. Indoor plants boost oxygen levels and reduce air temperatures, as well as raising humidity, making it easier to breathe.
