Houseplant Trend Continues to Rocket - 10 Great Pot Choices
It is that time of year where we start to see less sun and Autumn gives us a show. There is still plenty to marvel at on long walks through golden leaved woods but the sunshine fades earlier each day. Perhaps to prolongue our enjoyment of the outdoors and bring some of those external spaces inside, indoor plants are trending.
There has been a big rise in the number of people buying indoor plants. They bring a little of the outdoors indoors making spaces more inviting. They are also an ecological option and we are certainly in an eco-age. There is research to suggest that certain house plants act as a natural filter to the air's pollutants. Nasa conducted research, as far back as 1989, which suggests that indoor plants can remove pollutants and gases from the home. They singled out 50 houseplants that acted as nature's filter.
Indoor plants look attractive and give each room character. They may also help you sleep better, help fight colds and improve your general wellbeing. The continuing trend is no surprise and looks to continue into 2020.
Here are ten plants that can improve the air quality in your home:
- Rubber Plant
- Areca Palm
- Philodendron
- Peace Lily
- Snake Plant
- Dracaena
- Aloe Vera
- Boston Fern
- English Ivy
