4 Excellent Reasons to Bring Live Plants into Your Home

A splash of greenery can bring a needed "live" element to an interior. Plants can add visual texture, bring in a pop of color and even help visually balance a space.

So why should you prioritize adding live plants to your home? Here are 4 great reasons… 

1. Greenery Increases Your Wellbeing 

Studies have shown that spending a little green on some greenery can reduce your stress and enhance your mood, not to mention that plants can reduce house dust by 20%! In addition, plants bring us closer to the outdoors, connecting us to nature, thus creating a feeling of calm and overall wellbeing. Now, who doesn't need that?! 

2. Add Color to Your Home

Color has the power to change a space! Bringing in live plants or flowers with a pop of color can add a focal point to your room. Choosing plant colors close to the red spectrum, such as orange and yellow, are considered to evoke warmth and comfort. Whereas plants and flowers with blue tones evoke feelings of calm, tranquility, and peace. 

3. A Therapeutic Experience

Have you ever planted a garden and experienced the reward of seeing your fruits and veggies blossom? Well, indoor plants can do just that! They allow us to focus on caring and nurturing, which helps us decompress, unwind, and forget about our day-to-day stress. 

Best Plants for Those Without a Green Thumb

You don’t have a green thumb, you say? Believe it or not, one of the easiest plants to care for is the ZZ plant (short for Zamioculcas zamiifolia). It needs very little direct light and can thrive in dry and humid environments. Or, start with a desert succulent-most can go weeks with minimal watering and only require an occasional soaking.
