I like the greenery indoors, something about plants indoors is calming

A couple years ago, I read a study where they gave people creative problem-solving tests to people in a room with empty walls versus a room with a bunch of leaves and plants on the walls. Apparently, human brains work significantly better in the presence of plant-like patterns. Even having wallpaper that has leaves on it helps apparently.

As much as I love houseplants, this claim is exaggerated relative to how much people hype it up.

Unless you have a forest in your house, not really.

They clean the air and smell amazing though.

Says you. Some plants are migraine triggers for me.

by Busy-Wave 1 month ago

Some are. I don't get those plants. A person can choose what plants they want to put in their house.

Not a chance. You'll take the plants you are given and like it dammit!

All humans did. That's how that works.

By your logic any plant grown inside, so a good percentage would be immune to your criticism. So you should go back and adjust your statement to, all indoor plants that were not grown inside. Or admit that you're just another uninformed hypocrite.

Indoor plants produce oxygen. More beneficial than kids or pets.

More beneficial than kids or pets is a wildly sideways take.

Plants are basically inanimate objects. Carpets can be cleaned.

Indoor plants are a hobby for me. I like the way they look and I like taking care of them. If your indoor plants have bugs, you have a problem.

The plants and the plant lights are insanely effective at combating seasonal depression in the winter. You also get the satisfaction of watching something tangible grow from your work. Literally "reaping what you sow." Haha. And of course there are people who just don't own land; plants don't care where they are just as long as the soil, water, and UV rays are good, so what difference does it make?

Fair. I've been chastised by friends who think I should have plants in my house. They can have them. I shouldn't have to.

by Busy-Wave 1 month ago

For sure man you do you. If you wanna compromise you can always get fake plants haha. I don't have plants now but when I did even fake, it really does liven the place up. We underestimate the positive effect plants have on us. (Of course certain plants should be avoided if you have pets, etc)

I live in a desert where things just die outside

I live in the desert and my yard is full of plants. Maybe do some research and plant something....

I know you can still grow things, just not very easily. My mom always had a garden. I'm not much of a green thumb, but trying to be. But it's also hard to have a garden when you're in an apartment. I keep some indoor roses currently

Fair. I do not. Deciduous forest and plenty of wildflowers.

I'm not a big decorator in general, so that actually sounds good. My husband is the one who puts things on the walls.

Well, let your kids have some plants if they want to. There's so much joy and richness that comes from taking care of a living thing. You should get that as a parent.

They take care of the dog. Does that count? The benefits of dog outweigh the inconvenience of having her inside.

by Busy-Wave 1 month ago

But they're pretty and make me happy.

I agree. I've got over fifty, outside. One inside that grows out of my fishtank..

These are worse for me. They get dusty and are a pain to clean.

They can be a pain to clean, that's fair
