Houseplants, as charming as they are, may be a homeowner's worst nightmare. They gather dust, overrun their containment, and eventually perish. However, by cultivating the correct types of greenery, you may find yourself with more happiness, cleaner air to breathe, and other cool advantages.
Plants have a strong influence on us, and simply looking at them can enhance our mood and speed up our physical recovery. They can also aid in mental clarity and attention, as well as provide a sense of security.
All of this from a simple ficus, you would wonder. Yes, and don't forget that the correct houseplants can add interest to an otherwise uninteresting environment.
Are you ready to get your hands dirty? Here are eight houseplants that will both improve your life and beautify your space.
1. Lavender
Lavender's aroma has been proved to reduce tension and stress, so it's a good idea to keep this attractive potted green around.
Chris Lambton, landscaping expert and host of DIY Network's "Lawn and Order" and "Yard Crashers," says lavender essential oil is a tried and true method for boosting health and well-being.
"But the oil is expensive—and the plant isn't, plus lavender survives on very little water," he says.
2. Dracaena palm
The popularity of this air-cleaning plant can be attributed to NASA. In a seminal research of 50 plants that remove contaminants from residential air, the space agency ranked dracaena among the top ten. Keeping this vegetation around can help your family breathe cleaner air by removing toxic substances like formaldehyde, benzene, and CO2.
3. Prayer plant
Do you want a plant that is worry-free and can help you relax as a parent? If you have children or pets, the nontoxic prayer plant is great since you won't be alarmed if your toddler snaps off a leaf or your kitten nibbles on it.
4. Geranium
Geranium oil has long been recognised for its ability to cure skin problems like acne and irritation. The aroma of the potted form, on the other hand, may have some health benefits. A scent of geranium can aid with insomnia, mood improvement, and pain relief.
And now is the ideal time to stock up on this popular posey geranium variety, which is widely available for both outdoor annual gardens and interior pots.
5. Meyer lemon
Growing a Meyer lemon tree inside may help improve the immune system and detoxify the body by stimulating the liver, which is not only a refreshing sight in the morning, but it may also help boost the immune system and detoxify the body by stimulating the liver.
With its aromatic, scented blossoms, a lemon tree also energises and wakes.
6. Peace lily
Moisture may produce mould, and the air in bathrooms and kitchens is especially vulnerable. However, by absorbing airborne spores through its leaves, a potted peace lily can help to minimise indoor mould and mildew. According to NASA, peace lilies also filter the air by eliminating trichloroethylene, xylene, and ammonia.
We all know that Sergent Nicholas Angel's favourite plant is this one.
7. Exotic angel plant
Wouldn't it be nice if your plant accommodated you instead of the other way around? This is how the exotic angel plant becomes magical. If you're not home during the day and want to keep your plant out of direct sunlight, choose a low-light plant like this one, which only requires an hour or two of indirect light every day.
8. English ivy
You might use paintings or a folding screen to disguise these eyesores, but a creeper plant can do the same thing for a lot less money.
English ivy is a versatile plant that can be used both indoors and outdoors and comes in a variety of leaf forms and patterns.
But the finest aspect is its sticking ability: it can attach to practically any surface, concealing a fault in your wall while also brightening your decor.
