Indoor Plants Benefits in Louisiana

Indoor plants are great to look at in either the home or office. Besides their aesthetic value, they have plenty of other great benefits listed below. 

The best way to get the most of out of indoor plants is to have at least one 6" indoor potted plant for every 100 square feet of building. Also, use different plants to get different benefits. If this seems like too many plants watch over, you could use a few large indoor plants or at least put plants in the areas you use the most, such as the kitchen, living room or bed room. Try to use an indoor six foot tree in open corners of a room. A small six inch potted plant can easily find a spot in most bathrooms.

Indoor plants can help fight disease

Indoor plants can reduce fatigue, coughs, and other flu symptoms by more than 28 percent. This as been associated with indoor plants ability to increase humidity and reduce dust. Eucalyptus can directly help clear cold symptoms such as congestion. The increased oxygen and removal of air contaminates reduces the chance for headaches. Plants reduce stress which reduces blood pressure.

Indoor plants improve air quality

We all know that plants produce fresh oxygen by filtering out carbon dioxide in the air for us and our pets to breath. The more fresh oxygen in our homes, the better we will feel. Indoor plants also raise humidity levels and reduce dust and smoke in the air.

Additionally, indoor plants can filter a number of other harmful pollutants in the air of our home or office, including ammonia, benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene and xylene. Different plants are more able to filter different toxic air pollutants, so it is a good idea to have a variety of plants.

Indoor plants improve your health

Indoor plants are known to increase production and creativity in office buildings with indoor plants in sight of people's desk. Increased oxygen at night will help you sleep better and wake feeling more rested. Plants like the aloe plant can be used for burns. Caring for plants has been shown to keep people active and improve mental health, especially in depressed and elderly people. Early exposure for children to plants allows them to build up tolerances toward allergens that would affect them more harshly in adulthood.

Indoor plants improve your environment

Indoor plants reduce dust and increase the humidity of the air around them. The increase humidity and reduced dust can lead to indoor heating and cooling savings by regulating the indoor temperature. Something to think about next time you are complaining how hot it is in the middle of August in southern Louisiana. 

Indoor plants also reduce background noise by being natural sound dampeners. They are a great natural way to quiet down loud areas of your home or office. Indoor plants can reduce smells. Put a few indoor plants near office restrooms or break areas to maintain a more neutral scent.
