Plantscaping Improves Indoor Air Quality

We’ve all heard of landscaping and we know the beauty it can bring to the outside of our homes.  “Plantscaping” is a hot trend in California, where customers sign up to have their indoor space “plantscaped” and often maintained as well.  “Plantscaping” is the same as landscaping, but is done inside.

Plantscaping is done for aesthetic pleasure but it provides numerous other benefits as well.  Indoor air quality is improved and stress is reduced in the homes and offices that have taken advantage of this trend.  Here are some ways using plantscaping (or having plants in the home) can help:

1.    Improved VOC levels
2.    Reduced mold and bacteria levels
3.    Reduced Stress
4.    Increased Productivity (if at an office)

This article talks more about the commercial side of plantscaping, but adding plants to any indoor environment does improve the indoor air quality.  Plants, along with proper ventilation systems, can help ensure that the indoor air your family breathes is healthy.
