Green plants are well-known for their luscious leaves, and here at Bunches we adore the depth they bring to any room. As well as looking fabulous, these indoor plants have many other benefits.

Some of the physical health benefits of these indoor plants, according to the RHS, include:

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced fatigue and headaches

• Increased pain tolerance

Healthline says that green plants in pots may help you recover from illness faster and, in some cases, patients in hospital rooms with plants reported decreased post-operative pain.

Indoor plants can also improve air quality. In the 1980s, a NASA study found that houseplants purify the air so we can breathe better – try finding an artificial plant which can do that!

As well as physical benefits, green plants have many psychological benefits; not only can they improve your mood, reduce stress and anxiety levels, and allegedly improve your attention span, but they can also help your attention levels!

A green plant in your bedroom can also improve your sleep as a result of reducing anxiety and stress levels.

Green potted plants are also good for your four-legged friends; many of these houseplants are non-toxic to animals, keeping your pets safe from harmful pollen.

Whether it’s a charming Calathea or a pretty Peace Lily, there are so many positives to green plants. From physical to mental, your health will benefit from adding these simple yet elegant pots to your home or workspace – here at Bunches, most of us have a green plant on our desk, so we can vouch for them!

Many green plants can also be long-term, low-maintenance companions, making them a great gift for a loved one or a special treat for yourself. You can find our range of gorgeous green plants and much more at bunches.co.uk
