I learned that IвЂ™m in zone 10b and that there are over 900 recommendations for plants that can grow in my area. I put off the project for a long while because the spot got hardly any sun, but I finally got tired of looking at the bare corner and turned to the internet for help. I had a (very) low-light spot in my guest bathroom that was screaming for an indoor houseplant container garden. There are lots of great reasons to fill a home with indoor house plants, but what if your home doesnвЂ™t get much sun? If youвЂ™ve been operating under the assumption that having no sunny sills means you canвЂ™t keep house plants, this post will set you straight.

Children have even been shown to be more attentive in rooms with plants. Studies have shown that putting indoor plants in workspaces can boost productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. ItвЂ™s common knowledge that indoor house plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, but they also release moisture vapor (increasing the humidity of a room, which can actually reduce cold symptoms) and purify the air (removing volatile organic compounds). A lot of us donвЂ™t spend as much time outdoors as we should, and bringing plants inside is one way to counteract the effects of stale indoor air and even combat stress and anxiety. Whether you have a green thumb or not, indoor house plants can add a lot to your home.
