Green friends generally have a very positive effect on their environment. Sitting in a room full of green plants is very relaxing for you. Stress, tension and anxiety are reduced and you simply feel more at ease in your environment. This is mainly due to the green color of the plants. Green has a super calming effect.
Creative flow
Another positive effect that houseplants have on people is the stimulation of the creative flow in your brain. Your mental powers are increased! Maintaining concentration and focus is suddenly easy with five plants on your desk and your overall creativity is a lot greater. Nothing is too crazy and everything is possible.
More energy
