Plants such as orchids, succulents and epiphytic bromeliads, at night take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, so those should be put in bedrooms to keep oxygen flowing.
- Plants even provide nourishment for the body when eaten, and improve the quality of air in the room.
- Bringing flowers to hospital patients might be seen as just a display of affection, but they are actually effective in helping patients recover. Not only does looking at plants help them in emotional state, but having plants also lower ratings of pain, anxiety and fatigue, compared to those patients that don’t have plants in their hospital rooms. Another technique to decrease recovery time is therapy that consists of having patients asked to take care of plants. The patients that do this experience a reduced recovery time after their procedures.
