There are many benefits to having indoor plants in your home. Most importantly, “they make for a happy environment, help purify the air, and lighten the space,” says General Manager Kristina Haysley of Mahonia. Research published by NASA found that houseplants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and help absorb other indoor pollutants. Indoor plants also add a beautiful touch of live decor and soothing energy. Not sure where to start? We’ve found the perfect plants for every area of your home.
The Bedroom
Plants situated in the bedroom evoke a sense of calm and relaxation. The Snake plant (far right) is one of the few plants that converts carbon dioxide into oxygen during the day and at night, a process that happens only during the day with most plants. This makes the Snake plant a good choice for the bedroom. Kristina says the Snake plant is versatile to light availability: it can tolerate a low-light space, but will grow faster in a more direct light environment. It’s also easy to care for and requires little water.
