The more beautiful and healthy your indoor plants are – the better they do their job!
Nature’s supply of fresh air! By naturally converting carbon dioxide into pure oxygen, your room is filled with fresh air, ensuring you stay alert and feel refreshed.
Your living air filter! Plants in your office or home not only provide for beautiful, decorative features, but as well, NASA scientists found them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful pollutants and for cleaning the air inside modern buildings. In a 2 year study conducted by NASA scientist, Dr. Bill Wolverton, at NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center, Bay St. Louis, Miss, they found evidence that indoor plants were capable of absorbing and removing every day pollutants such as Formaldehyde, a ubiquitous chemical found in virtually all indoor environments; Trichloroethylene (TCE) found in inks, paints and adhesives; and Benzene, present in common items such as oils, plastics and rubber. Such pollutants can irritate the skin and the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat. Having healthy house plants in your room or office is the best way to filter and remove these potentially harmful irritants.

Plants act as dust removers! Fine dust particles enter the tiny pores of the leaves (stomata) through which a plant breathes, effectively cleaning the air in another positive way. Scientists of the Washington State University have concluded that green leaved foliage plants can reduce indoor dust levels by up to 20%. And you don't have to plant a jungle either. The plants they added to an office room occupied only around 5% of the volume. But, be friendly to your indoor plants and occasionally wipe off excess dust from the leaves.

Beauty and serenity! As well as using indoor plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air, they also simply make it a more pleasant place to live and work – where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more.
Help prevent illnesses! As plants transpire, they increase the amount of water vapour in the air and thus increase the humidity which helps provide balance to the air in rooms and offices. This is to our benefit and well being because too often air is dry through heating and air conditioning. There is evidence that cases of the common cold are more frequent when the humidity is low.
