Air Purification: Indoor plants act as natural air purifiers by absorbing pollutants and toxins, such as formaldehyde and benzene, through a process called phytoremediation. They release oxygen and improve air quality, creating a healthier living environment.
Stress Reduction: Studies have shown that the presence of indoor plants can reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. The visual appeal of greenery and the act of caring for plants can contribute to a calming atmosphere, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
