Indoor plants and indoor gardening in general, is becoming more and more popular and with good reason – it’s providing individuals with limited yard space and those who live in harsh climates with the opportunity to benefit from the particular joys of gardening. It is for this reason that the team at Premier Garden Supply Co has taken the time to put together a catalogue of the best indoor growing supplies and equipment.
Aside from providing urban dwellers and individuals with limited space the freedom to experiment with the art and craft of gardening, indoor gardens have a few other surprising benefits. These include:
- It is nature’s answer to indoor pollution. Houseplants have the potential to impact greatly on the quality of the air in your home by absorbing chemicals and filtering allergens from the air. Studies have shown that indoor plants can potentially remove up to 87 percent of airborne toxins in a given home within 24 hours. These toxins include harmful substances like benzene, acetone and formaldehyde (derived from adhesives, paints and varnishes); tobacco smoke, detergent fumes, carpeting residue and more.
- It can make you happier. Studies have shown that taking care of plants can provide relief from physical- and mental stressors. Therapeutic indoor gardens are believed to potentially reduce stress, lower blood pressure and reduce depression.
- It can help you focus better on your work. Plants raise the humidity levels in an indoor environment, thereby increasing oxygen levels. As such, it has been shown to increase productivity levels in the workplace.
- It turns a house into a home. While cut flowers are beautiful in their own right, carefully tended house plants can add a lot to a home when it comes to decoration and beautification. It brings warmth and homeliness to a room and provides interesting focal points.
