You're all moved into your new loft and have it perfectly decorated. But you take a step back and feel like something is missing. Why not bring some of the outdoors indoors? If you think you lack the proverbial green thumb, here is a simple guide to indoor plants for your loft. There are many good reasons to add indoor plant life to your decor. First, they add a pleasing aesthetic effect. This is even more true in the winter when outside can be so dreary. Some plants, such as the Chinese evergreen and peace lily, have been proven to act as air purifiers. This is in addition to simply improving the air quality by turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. Cleaner air means better brain function.
There have also been studies showing that looking at nature creates a reduction in stress and has a calming and relaxing effect. This in turn can cause an increase in memory retention and concentration. What university student wouldn't want nature's help in producing higher quality work? Plant life can also have a positive effect on your mental health. Beautiful landscapes are associated with a higher quality of life. Observing the beauty of nature can help you have a positive outlook on life. Braided Ficus Tree - because of our high ceilings and spacious interiors, these trees are a perfect fit.

Cacti - one of the easiest indoor plants to care for, they come in many shapes and sizes. Keep them in a window for plenty of sunlight to get through and do not water until the pot is dry. Succulent - the perfect plant for a beginner, they are practically indestructible. They need indirect sunlight and because they store water similar to the cacti, you only need to water them once every other month.
