Why everyone should have houseplants Plants have the power to get us out of our heads and back into the here and now, they provide peace and strength, joy and hope. As houseplants, they give us humans purpose and affirmation, but even more so, they make our homes a place of comfort and life where we can feel at home. Houseplants have many positive influences on us, both mental and physical, which have been proven by research. Plants are good for our mental health Plants can help us stay calm and relaxed! Multiple studies have measured the blood pressure, pulse and the level of the stress hormone cortisol of subjects under mental stress or during a difficult task. They found that people remained calmer when surrounded by plants. Some therapists use gardening (and that includes caring for indoor plants) in treating patients with various mental illnesses. The idea is that caring for plants can evoke feelings of happiness and accomplishment in us. And, with that, they help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. It's time to give your mental health a boost! In our online shop, you will find the perfect plants to make you feel better and at home. Plants increase our productivity We are more concentrated, more creative and our memory works better with houseplants around. In a study from Exeter University in the UK, researchers introduced plants to a previously barren office. They found that employee productivity increased by 15 percent as a consequence! In another study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, researchers gave students a challenging task. They found that those in a room with plants had longer attention spans than those sitting in a room without greenery. The researchers attributed this to both to the calming and soothing effects of houseplants. Such an environment has a positive effect on our performance and creativity. Because we believe in the power of plants, Plant Circle greens up offices for big companies as well as for individuals working from home. Simply get in touch with us via our form to inquire! Plants are good for our phyiscal health Better air quality When we breathe in, we bring oxygen into the body. When we breathe out, we release carbon dioxide. The cycle of a plant, which is essential for survival, runs roughly the other way around. They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen again. That's why houseplants are virtually the perfect partners! At least when it comes to the air we breathe. Plants produce the most oxygen when they get plenty of sun and water, because that's when they photosynthesize most effectively. To supply one human being with oxygen, the leaves of our houseplants would have to cover an area of at least 400 square metres. A small tree has a leaf area roughly equivalent to that, so a larger indoor jungle would suffice as well. But even if you have fewer plants, every little counts! Every houseplant increases the oxygen content in the air at home - and that's good for our bodies! With better air quality, we get tired more slowly, get headaches less often and we sleep better! Increase your quality of life with more houseplants in your home! So, browse our All Plants section to find hundreds of great houseplants for your home. Plants purify the air Some plants can not only increase the oxygen content in the air, but also filter potentially hazardous substances from our indoor air. A study by NASA has found this out. According to the study, air-purifying houseplants can remove up to 87 percent of pollutants from indoor air within a single day. NASA researchers recommend one potted plant per 9.3 square metres in our homes. However, you don't have to worry too much about the respective air purification capacity! If you have at least one air-purifying plant per area recommended by NASA, you should be fine. We have lots of air-purifying plants in our online shop, such as Sansevieria, Aglaonema, Spathiphyllum, Epipremnum, Ficus Elastica and more! Plant Circle is your go-to online shop for houseplants you will love!
