The flowers and plants we use to decorate our house aren't simply adornments.   The benefits reported are indispensable and fundamental for our health, to influence the state of our spirits and, in general, to maintain our quality of life in a simple and natural way. Their physical and chemical properties bring many advantages, such as renewing the quality of air.

Through the process in which plants filter the air, photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide is absorbed and transformed into oxygen that is then pushed back into the air, renewing the quality of the air. The habitual cycle of photosynthesis normally occurs during the morning, taking advantage of the sunlight.  But there are groups of plants belonging to hotter environments that invert the order and complete the process at night.

This is the case with orchids and bromeliads.  Therefore, it is advisable to combine both classes of plants to enjoy the cycle 24 hours a day.  A plant also raises the humidity of the air.  This is beneficial for keeping our throats and skin, among other things, well hydrated.

Plants absorb harmful gases, like some of the components of tobacco.  So, we can say that they actually act against the pollution as they, with the help of some bacteria found in the roots, transform those gases into nutrients.

For those allergic to dust, they can be very beneficial as they reduce the presence in the air up to 20%.  Although it seems incredible, plants reduce noise, especially in closed spaces with hard floors. As we have said before, plants have positive psychological effects on people and they can even improve your mood and well-being, as well as reducing stress.

In the case of sickness, it is a proven fact that recovery is faster if there are plants and flowers around you. In the case of companies, there are studies demonstrating that working with plants reduces work absenteeism and adds to productivity.
