Indoor plants are raging with popularity in recent years, now because of just their artistic value, but also cause of their benefits. As in the modern-day cities barely have any space, & thus houses or apartments have become compact with no yard. These indoor plants can give you the benefits of plants with no yard space or garden.

Other than the science we have read since childhood that plants give us food and oxygen, plants have many other benefits.

1. Your natural air purifier

Plants remove the pollutants and contaminants from the air, making your house clean and thus working as an air purifier. A study by NASA in the year 1980 proved air’s quality of purifying the air, and this process is called phytoremediation. In that research, scientists were searching for ways to purify the air inside a sealed spacecraft. 

At last, they found that the soil and roots of indoor plants can clarify the air by diminishing the VOCs. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are airborne. Modern-day study says a good number of indoor plants can equate to the work of an air purifier. So if you are looking for aesthetics and want some purples among greens, go for purple house plants and they will add beauty to your surroundings.

2. Works as a stress buster

In these days of work from home due to pandemics, your home is also full of work stress. Plants have proved to be reducing stress, so you can try keeping a plant at your desk to curb some stress. These plants will manage stress and deal with the problems that come with stress like anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

Studies show that greenery helps in reducing people’s blood pressure and heart rate and keep the respiratory tract well. So, pot some plants at your home to control the stress of everyone at home along with some surging productivity.

3. Increases your productivity

You can just pot some green plants and experience a hike in productivity in place of your creative lagging day. A plant at your working desk or your children’s study table can easily increase your productivity. A 1996 study reports that students worked 12% faster when plants were placed at their table in a computer lab. 

Along with increasing productivity, the plants reduced their stress level as well. Moreover, a 2004 study also proved that people’s creativity improved because of plants; they performed well in the creative tasks. So your productivity will also increase if you fall less sick, and plants take care of that aspect as well. 

4. You will get more healthy and fresh produce.

If you have rooftop spaces or someplace in the window where sunlight comes and you have someplace to pot plant, go ahead. For ages, many people have been planting fruits and vegetable plants at home to get some fresh and natural herb or food at a hand distance. If you are growing at your home, you are sure that the plant or food don’t have any harmful chemical or pesticide. 

You can grow tomatoes, lemons, aloe vera, mandarin oranges, avocados, etc. If your purpose is beautification and you want to go purple, you can try purple house plants. 

5. Helps you fight illness

Plants at your home can keep your and your family’s cold and cough at bay. As we already mentioned, it works as an air purifier and removes dust while humidifying the air. In addition, horticulture studies report that plants in homes, hospitals, or offices positively affect cold, headaches, fatigue, and sore throats. 

Purple house plants also have the ability to cleanse the air. You can try eucalyptus if you are suffering from congestion in your body. Moreover, plants are therapeutic and are helpful for those fighting mental illness or depression, anxiety, etc. 

6. Sharpen your attention with these living beings

Studies have also proved that real plants help with attention and concentration. But you won’t get this benefit with artificial plants. So a study was performed; students were given exams in different rooms with a plant, or a fake plant, or a photograph of a plant or no plant at all. Researchers found that the students who had plants in their rooms performed better, had better attention and concentration than others. 

Also, plants can cut down noise too, and thus further increase your level of attention. 

7. Pretty house decors and better sleep

If you love all-natural decoration, you can try houseplants. These are not only showpieces to decorate your house but will add so many benefits as well. For example, you can decorate your place more with purple house plants, cause why only stuck to greens? You can follow different Instagram pages as well to take ideas on decoration, like hanging some greens on your doorway, etc. 

If you generally have busy schedules and are scared to get the time to take care of your plants, go for the low-maintenance ones. Many plants need less care, like fertilizing, watering, or trimming.

Not all plants can survive indoors; some need sunlight, while some don’t. So check the features before buying.
