Indoor air-purifying plants are all the rage, and for good reasons too. Amidst a global pandemic that has a lot to do with respiratory problems and causes difficulty in breathing, apart from the fact that many regions in the world are already polluted with bad air quality, the importance of indoor air-purifying plants has risen through the roof. NASA itself recommends people to have indoor plants in living and work areas.

Why buy indoor air-purifying plants?
The first reason has to be the fact that they help improve the quality of the air we breathe, right at home and in our work areas, where we spend a considerable amount of time. If you live in metropolitan areas, you’re exposed to monstrous amounts of pollutants every time you go outside. Large cities often have the worst AQI, and many residents end up having asthma, bronchitis or dust-allergies.

The pollution doesn’t stay outside your home, but your carpets, furnishings, upholstery, pesticides, mould and so on often exude one or the other air-pollutant. Since you spend a significant chunk of your life indoors, at home or in our offices, it only seems fair that you do something to improve the air quality as well. Several studies have been conducted showing that certain indoor plant varieties can rid a room of harmful pollutants like ammonia, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide!!

The involuntary and simple act of breathing shouldn’t be a struggle. That’s why indoor air purifying plants are a low-cost and excellent solution to the problem.

Apart from this, the greens give our places a soothing, stress-free and peaceful vibe. It’s a known fact that plants at your study or work-space help you concentrate better. The plants bring a change in the visual landscape of your room.

For reasons like these, many corporate offices opt for indoor plants on rent and AMC basis, to improve air quality in offices and to soften the interiors with natural elements.

Which indoor plants should you buy?
Varieties like the Chamaedorea, Aglaonema, Ficuslyrata, Aralia varieties, Spathiphyllum,  Dracaena varieties, Areca Palms, Sanseverias, Chlorophytums, and Money plants are among some of the most popular options for indoor air-purifying plants. The sanseverias or the snake plants are most easy to maintain amongst these. Nearly all these plant varieties are easy to maintain and if you are a beginner, you won’t have to worry about any withering dead plants.

All the plants mentioned above and more are available for purchase at our Garden Centre in Mumbai. For corporate offices, we can offer competitive rent and maintenance plans for indoor plants, as per the requirements of the office, suiting your budget and requirement.
