There cannot be anything like a modest dash of foliage in one’s living room or in offices. House plants or indoor plants provide a revitalizing sense. The invigorating scents and colors of flowers and plant life whisk the olfaction and visual senses. The researchers have identified five “super ornamental plants’’ which every workplace should have to clean up indoor air — English ivy, waxy leaved plants and ferns.
Recently, a new study has revealed an interesting fact that ornamental plants could help in reducing the stress levels and ill health,. Indoor plants also boost the performance levels at work because they soak up harmful indoor air pollution.
Lead researcher Stanley Kays of University of Georgia said some indoor plants have the ability to effectively remove harmful volatile organic compounds from the air and not only improve physical health, but also someone’s well-being.
According to studies, adding super ornamental plants to indoor spaces can reduce stress, boost up performance level at work and reduce the symptoms of ill health.
Indoor plants are a healthier and less costly option to deal with indoor air pollution since these plants are known to soak up carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. Indoor plants give a sense of nearness to nature and also do lot of good to the room’s ambiance and office atmosphere.
