TO DECORATE AND TO IMPROVE THE AMBIENCE

To have plants means that you will enjoy a double benefit. On the one hand, plants decorate and they are always a prevailing tendency. As a result, they have always been there throughout the years. On the other hand, plants also oxygenate the air and regulate the temperature. They lower the temperature in summer and provide warmth in winter. They humidify the air, thus, moisturizing and nourishing our skin. Plants help us to relax and to have a more positive attitude towards life.

Some of the most common plants in a house are calabash (easy to look after), azalea and primrose, both of which have very colourful flowers. Aloe vera does not only decorate but it also has medicinal value due to the healing powers of its leaves. We may also add spathiphyllum which reduces air pollution. As you can see, we have a wide range of choices.

THE BENEFIT OF PLANTS
