Plants do so much more than just brighten up a workplace. Bringing real, tangible benefits to our health and wellbeing, plants are becoming more important than ever to employers who value fully-productive and happy employees.
Further to adding a sense of calmness and positivity to an environment, live and artificial plants work very practically in helping to absorb noise and add shade to protect us from the sun. Whether house plants or office plants, desk plants or floor plants, it’s important to know how to get the best out of them.
Live plants have been scientifically proven to improve air quality. Research programmes, surveys and studies show just some of the potential toxic vapours that can contaminate indoor air, including Formaldehyde, Benzene Xylene, Toluene, Ammonia and other toxins that are known to contribute to Sick Building Syndrome. Indoor air can be up to ten times more polluted than outdoor air but live plants emit the oxygen we need whilst absorbing these toxins. Being clever in the use of live plants in the workplace can make the air cleaner, and this helps decrease worker fatigue and increases energy levels.
Other interesting and little-known benefits that live plants in particular offer include the reduction of headaches, sore and dry throats and dry and itchy skin. Interestingly, they also help us to recover from surgery more quickly.
