Some plants are particularly suitable for the bedroom and can even improve the quality of sleep. We reveal which five houseplants are much more than just decoration.
Good for the indoor climate: the ivy plant
The good old ivy is extremely popular as a houseplant and is a real eye-catcher in any room with its drooping leaves. It is also said to be good for the indoor climate. However, the plant is poisonous and should therefore be kept out of the reach of children or pets.
Orchids improve the indoor climate
Orchids are among the most popular plants for the home in Germany. But orchids also look good in the bedroom, as they are said to improve the indoor climate and increase the humidity in the room.
Lavender helps you relax
People who suffer from insomnia often swear by lavender tea or a few drops of lavender oil. But the plant also calms, relaxes and promotes sleep. Incidentally, a fresh lavender plant is said to have an even more intensive effect than dried flowers.
Bow hemp relieves headaches
The plant has the special property of also releasing oxygen at night and thus ridding the bedroom climate of carbon dioxide. In addition, it is even said to be effective against headaches and high blood pressure.
Nephrolepis Exaltata: against stress
Even if the name of this houseplant is extremely complicated, we don't have to let it stress us out - on the contrary. We can simply place this plant from the sword fern family in our bedroom and enjoy its positive properties. Nephrolepis exaltata is rich in flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties. They have a regulating effect on the nervous system and relieve stress. That sounds good, so nothing stands in the way of a restful night.
Aloe vera: Gives off oxygen
This plant has various properties. For example, it is contained in many cosmetics and provides our skin with moisture and is also said to relieve itching. Aloe vera also looks good in our bedroom, as the plant releases oxygen at night.
