Benefits: Houseplants are not only beautiful additions to any home, but they can also help improve air quality. Studies have shown that plants can remove toxins from the air, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene. These toxins can be released into the air from a variety of sources, including furniture, carpets, and cleaning products. In addition to removing toxins, houseplants can also help to increase humidity in the air. This is beneficial for people with respiratory problems, such as asthma and allergies.
Additional benefit: Studies show that growing plants indoors also help to reduce stress.
