Benefits of Having Indoor Plants

Having indoor plants is more than just a trend. It’s a lifestyle choice that has numerous benefits for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Here are some of the key benefits of having indoor plants in your house:

• Increased Humidity:

Indoor plants are natural humidifiers that can help elevate the moisture levels in your home, providing great relief during winter. By increasing the humidity level, they help to prevent respiratory problems and dry skin making you feel more comfortable and healthier. The large and wavy fronds of our Asplenium nidus crispy wave are capable of trapping moisture in the air, making it an effective and attractive way to add humidity to your home.

• Cost-Effective Decor:

Indoor plants can be used as a stylish and affordable way to enhance the aesthetics of your home. Plants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours, making them versatile and easy to integrate into any decor.

• Natural Air Purifiers:

Plants are natural air purifiers that can help to filter out harmful toxins and pollutants from the air. Adding indoor plants in your home reduces the risk of respiratory problems. The large leaves of our Rubber plant Ficus Elastica  help to absorb airborne toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene, making the air in your home cleaner and healthier.

• Reduce Stress:

Indoor plants have been proven to reduce stress levels and help in changing your mood. They have a calming effect and can create a more peaceful and relaxing environment. The green leaves and white bloom of our Dirt Cheap Peace Lilly Variegated plant create a pleasant atmosphere in any room, helping to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.

Our Persian Shield- Strobilanthes Dyerianus,  is a stunning indoor plant that can add a vibrant burst of colour to your home decor.

Plants can also help to improve the quality of your sleep. They have a soothing scent that can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. By this, you can enjoy a more restful and peaceful night’s sleep.

How to care for Indoor House plants?

Maintaining indoor plants is a brilliant way to add positivity to your house. However, if you are unfamiliar with plant care, it can be difficult. Here are some things to help you maintain healthy indoor plants:

• Choosing The Proper Pot and Soil:

It’s important to choose the proper soil and container for your plants. Verify that the soil is suitable for your plant type and that the pot has drainage holes and well-draining soil.

• Watering:

The frequency of watering indoor plants depends on the plant’s species, size, and environmental conditions. Most plants thrive with consistent moisture, but overwatering can lead to root rot. Inspect the soil’s moisture level by sticking your finger 1-2 inches deep into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until water drains out of the bottom of the pot.

• Light And Temperature:

Different plants require different levels of temperature and light. Avoid exposing your plants to severe temperatures and place them in locations that receive the right amount of light.

• Humidity:

Dry conditions inside might be detrimental to your plants. To raise humidity levels, mist your plants with water.

• Fertilisation:

Indoor plants require nutrients to grow and thrive. Fertilise your plants every two to four weeks during their growing season, typically spring and summer. For optimal growth, it is recommended to utilise a well-balanced and water-soluble fertiliser.

• Repotting: 

As indoor plants grow, they may need to be repotted into larger containers to allow their roots to spread. Repot plants when their roots become overcrowded and start to grow out of the drainage holes in the pot.

• Pruning:

Pruning is essential for maintaining the health and beauty of indoor house plants. Pruning helps promote growth and shape the plant. When pruning, it’s important to use sharp, clean tools and cut above a leaf node. Moreover, this practice can help keep your indoor plants thriving for years to come.

• Cleaning: 

Indoor plants can accumulate dust, which can block sunlight and hinder photosynthesis. Clean your plants’ leaves regularly with a damp cloth to keep them healthy and thriving.
