Having Green plants in our homes and schools is an important component of creating a sustainable indoor ecology and healthy minds and bodies. Indoor plants lead to an improved overall environmental quality while creating a happier and calmer space for creative and focused learning.
Your Brain on Nature: Indoor plants psychologically link us to nature. They also stimulate both physiological and psychological relaxation responses.
Breathe Easy: Indoor plants improve air quality by removing carbon dioxide, particulates, benzene, and up to 90 percent of formaldehyde.
Comfort is King: Plants increase ambient humidity in dry indoor environments. Plants are known to increase room humidity from 20 percent to a more comfortable 30 percent under bright lighting conditions.
Friendly Flora: Houseplants supply beneficial bacteria and increase the microbial diversity in the indoor environment, benefiting human health indoors.
