When the alarm rings on Monday morning, your first inclination is to hit the snooze button and pretend it’s Sunday morning instead. You fumble away, and do just that. Your alarm goes off five minutes later, and you’re still in denial that you have to get up and go to work. So you hit the snooze once more, roll over, and bury your head amongst the blankets, hoping to block out the world just a little bit longer. Your alarm goes off again, breaking your fantasy that it’s Sunday, so you get up and start preparing for the day, which means you have to get ready for work.

MORE BENEFITS OF PLANTS AT WORK

Plants Clean the Air

Most of us know that plants take in carbon dioxide and give forth oxygen in a process known as photosynthesis, which is how plants make their own food. But did you know that plants also can clean the air of some chemicals and contaminants as well? Since the 1980s, scientists have known that plants remove volatile compounds, such as benzene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde from the air as well. This, in turn, makes the air safer for humans to breathe. Thus, Obutto notes that if you want to help reduce chemical compounds, plant a tree, and bring a plant indoors.

Plants Help Reduce Noise Levels

If you have a windbreak at your home, or you have a row of bushes or trees outside your home along a major highway, you know how effective trees are at blocking noise. Trees and plants create noise barriers as they block the sound from traveling through the air and to your ears. When you move plants indoors, they perform the same task. They block sound waves from your space, which can greatly reduce office distractions and noises.

Plants Can Help You Be More Creative

Stuck on a novel idea? Can’t see a business solution? Trying to brainstorm how to manufacture a new product? Studies show that plants can increase creativity. There is a theory called attention restoration theory that says that when you look at nature or items from nature your brain relaxes, and you naturally feel better. You can also leave your office, go for a walk in nature, and feel refreshed and rejuvenated with a better sense of clarity than you had before. Studies even show that the smells of forest help to lower your stress, heart rate, and blood pressure — all of which allow your brain to be more creative since it’s not feeling physical stress. Thus, Obutto recommends to stare at your plant, or go for a walk when you’re stuck and need a fresh perspective.

Plants Can Help with Humidity Control

When the air is dry, it can affect your health. For instance, you breathe in dry air, which can exacerbate some respiratory conditions, such as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, bloody noses, and can dehydrate the body. Your skin can dry out more easily since the air saps the moisture out of it, creating cracked skin and maybe even contributing to skin conditions, such as eczema. Dry air can cause you to become dehydrated as well, which can lead to fatigue and headaches.

Plants, on the other hand, add moisture to the air through a process called transpiration. Plants absorb the water through their roots when you water them, which is then transported throughout the plant. When the water reaches the leaves, some of this water is lost into the air. This serves to increase the humidity in the air, which is the water content in the air. Thus, you are breathing in more water, which helps your body to function better and alleviate these exasperating (pardon the pun) conditions. Obutto recommends that you invest in plants for their water power.
