In case you haven’t noticed, we love plants around here – whether we keep them alive or not, that’s a different story. The truth is indoor plants not only spice up your décor and turn your apartment into #DecorGoals, but they are also benefiting us in many ways.

First of all, plants can teach us a lot about self care. Simply because caring for something reminds us to care for ourselves.

Listen, this is not some plant-loving chatter. Science has linked indoor plants with:

Boosting mood, productivity, and creativity
Reducing stress and fatigue
Cleaning indoor air

And, of course, plants make people happy. That’s a pure fact.

Obviously, there’s much more to plants that we still don’t understand. The impact indoor plants have on our mental health, our work performance, and even our mood can be extremely positive. The fact that they just add to our décor is just an added bonus.

Let’s put our science hats on and explore the benefits of bringing plants into your life.

*NOTE: We’re not responsible for any urges to go on a plant-driven shopping-spree after reading this article.
