The Wellbeing Benefits of Indoor Plants
Emotional Wellbeing Benefits
As well as teaching you how to care for your indoor plants, we want you to know how your indoor plants care for you. Bringing plants into the home is accompanied by all kinds of wonderful wellbeing benefits. Studies have shown that the presence of plants in your home or work space can lift your mood, improve your focus and increase productivity and creativity. Plants have even been proven to lower blood pressure, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. What’s more, the repetitive, mindful rituals of indoor gardening have powerful therapeutic benefits.
Physical Wellbeing Benefits
And it's not just emotional benefits you can expect from your indoor plant collection. Research by NASA has shown that plants have powerful detoxifying properties, purifying the air of harmful toxins and increasing oxygen levels. This can relieve headaches, boost immunity and improve your sleep quality. Indoor plants, especially tropical ones that love misting, release water vapour and increase humidity levels in the air, which can help improve skin and respiratory health. Indoor plants are also great cleaning aids, trapping dust that would otherwise remain airborne. This cleanses the air and can help relieve allergy symptoms. Check out our Breathe, Restore and Boost selections for the most effective psychological and physical wellness-boosting plants.

Should I be misting my indoor plants? for?
To mist or not to mist? Fear not - finding out whether your indoor plant would benefit from a little extra moisture is not all that mist-ical! Many indoor plants are native to tropical and subtropical countries with very humid climates. These include species like birds of paradise, philodendrons, ferns, pothos plants and calatheas. If you have one of these tropical beauties, mist the leaves once or twice a week and watch them flourish! Desert plants that are used to very dry climates like cacti or succulents do not need to be misted.
How will I know if my indoor plant is unhappy? for?
If your indoor plant is unhappy, it will let you know! When plants are not getting enough water, light or humidity (or too much), or are hankering for a new home, they will display visual signals that they are struggling. Signs to look out for are…
- Dropping or yellowing leaves, or leaves that are discoloured or going brown and curled at the edges
- Droopiness or wilting
- Weak or stunted growth - your plant may appear spindly with few new leaves or shoots.
- Stems or roots feeling mushy or looking mouldy
If your plant is showing any of these signs, it may feel overwhelming to try and work out what the problem is. Luckily, our Green Room Blog and Plant Care Hub are full of advice to diagnose why your indoor plant might be struggling and tips to nurse it back to health. Usually, it will just need more or less water or light, a quick soil change or a new pot!
