This woman’s houseplants are all shapes and sizes, adding vibrancy and life to her apartment, while also cleaning the air.

Houseplants absorb our exhaled carbon dioxide and release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, while also remove large amounts of toxic substances from the air.

They also increase the humidity of the surrounding air by giving off water vapor during photosynthesis and respiration. This reduces the frequency of sore throats and dry skin.

The presence of houseplants also positively affects the human psyche, boosting our mood and creativity, and even making us feel better physically.

Investing time, and a little money, in houseplants for your home is well worth the small amount of effort needed to maintain them, offering dozens of health benefits on top of simply making your house look great!
