I’m excited about this post because it’s something close to my heart (and most everyone else’s). You’ve probably noticed the surge of indoor jungle vibes in every indoor space via social media, Pinterest, favorite blogs, magazines, local boutiques, store fronts… IKEA! Perhaps you haven’t even noticed the shift, but wondered why you’ve drifted into more plant shops recently or walked out of Home Depot without nails and a cart full of green? I’ve even noticed a shift in my coffee purchases; if there isn’t a plant shop to stumble into nearby, you can bet my beverage I won’t purchasing from you. Ah!?
There’s no denying that they instantly brighten and liven any space, but what’s important are the benefits. Plants really should be considered a necessity rather than an object of décor, because honestly, good health should never be out of style.
If you’re not convinced, here are some of the amazing benefits that go beyond the eye:
- They give an assist in breathing
- They help deter illness
- They clean the air
- They boost healing
- They help you work better… YES. Several studies with both students and workers reveals that studying or working in the presence of plants can have a pretty dramatic effect.
