Plants Bring the Outdoors In

Winter’s coming soon, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on greenery or even gardening! Indoor plants aren’t just for looks—they’re tough little helpers that can improve health, mood, and purpose. Here are some good reasons to reconsider a plant for your home or office.

Health Benefits of Plants!

• Clean the Air – Plants help filter out toxins like benzene, formaldehyde & other VOCs (volatile organic compounds from paint or cleaning products). Plants reduce pollutants, especially when windows stay shut.  

• Boost Productivity – Offices with plants have been correlated with better focus, reduced fatigue, and fewer headaches.

• Help with Pain and Recovery – Studies with hospital patients using plants in their rooms reported less post-operative pain and better recovery.

• Lower Stress – Studies show that just having plants around can reduce stress and improve your mental health—especially in places with less windows or nature views.

• Keeps You Grounded – Taking care of a living thing—even a plant—builds routine, responsibility, and pride. Watching something grow because of your effort is good for the head and heart.
