Why Every House Should Have Houseplants

Have you ever noticed that homes and offices with an abundance of live plants tend to smell better, feel better, and have a healthier feeling air quality? It may just be that keeping plants in your house can give you and your family endless benefits!


Here are a few reasons why keeping a live plant in as many rooms in your home as you can may be a great choice to make for your family's health and wellness...

Relaxation
Plants and flowers have a naturally calming and reassuring effect on the mind. They soothe tempers, create tranquility, and generate a sense of well-being.

Air Purification
Plants and trees are nature's air purifiers. They breathe in the stuff we breathe out and turn it into clean air for all! Having live plants in your home can drastically improve the air quality and even cut down on allergens and sickness!

Good Energy!
Plants are believed to change the mood of a room, calm intense energies, and ground out other energies that may cause problems. Just having a live plant in your home can create a sense of peace and natural harmony instantly!


if you don't keep houseplants because you don't have a green thumb, have no fear! There are many types of plants that need little to no care, and many houseplants are specific varieties that don't need to be re-potted or fed often. Keeping your house plant near a pet's water bowl, fish tank, kitchen window sill, or mirror can be an easy way to remind yourself to give it some water whenever you give water to your pets or clean parts of your home.

As many of us come into a season where plants outside go dormant, having vibrant plants inside can be a great way to combat seasonal depression and sadness.

Happy planting!
