National Houseplant Appreciation Day proves plants do more than just sit pretty

Indoor plants improve air quality, reduce visual fatigue, and enhance focus in work-from-home spaces, offering benefits with minimal upkeep, experts say.

  • This year, National Houseplant Appreciation Day highlights indoor houseplants as quietly useful home elements and encourages treating them as intentional design pieces.
  • Indoor plants can improve indoor air by absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, and increasing humidity while supporting home emotional balance.
  • Design-Wise, strategic placement uses taller plants to define corners while succulents, spider plants, English ivy, and bamboo palms suit varied light and low-care needs, and repotting or new pots refresh layouts.
  • Adding greenery can sharpen focus and reduce visual fatigue in enclosed rooms, making work-from-home desks and shared work areas feel lighter and more comfortable.
  • Over time, care tasks like watering and trimming create manageable routines while visible growth from new leaves encourages patience, and keeping plants within about 6 to 8 square feet of people who sit or sleep preserves benefits.
