Plants? For my Bed?!

Introduction

There’s no question that having plants in your bedroom is a good idea. A study by NASA found that plants can remove air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde from the air, making them an effective way to improve indoor air quality. Additionally, studies have shown that people who live near greenery tend to have lower stress levels than those who don’t. In this blog post I’ll discuss exactly what you need to do in order to add some plants into your bedroom (and keep them alive!).

Why plants in your bedroom are good for you.

There are many reasons why having plants in your bedroom can be beneficial. Plants are proven to help improve your sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, increase focus and concentration, and more!

Plants that you can use in the bedroom include:

  • Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) – This plant is known for being an effective air purifier. It’s also commonly used as a house plant because it’s easy to care for and grows well indoors with indirect light.
  • Bromeliad (Aechmea fasciata ‘Aragua’) – A small bromeliad that produces blue flowers when grown under direct sunlight; if given less light or none at all then green leaves will grow instead of flowers. You can also purchase this plant from any reputable nursery or florist shop if you don’t have time to care for one yourself!

Which plants are toxic to humans.

In this section of the article, we’ll be taking a look at the plants that are poisonous to both children and pets. These are some of the most commonly seen houseplants, so you may have one or more of these in your home already!

  • Philodendron (Philodendron scandens)
  • Caladium (Caladium bicolor)
  • Dumb cane (Dieffenbachia seguine)
  • Elephant ear philodendron (Pothos aureus)

Which plants can filter air pollutants.

You might not think about it, but plants are great for filtering the air in your bedroom. They’re a natural way to reduce pollutants from the air you breathe, including formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and benzene. Plants can also filter out mold spores and dust.

The best plants for removing pollutants from the air are ones with a lot of surface area like spider plants, snake plant or ficus trees. These types of houseplants have leaves that grow outward so they take longer to collect dust than other kinds of indoor greenery like palms or succulents (which tend to be small).

Which plants smell good.

Lavender

Lavender has been shown to help with sleep, as well as reducing anxiety and stress. It’s also a natural bug repellent, so if you don’t want to use chemicals on your plants, lavender is a good choice for your bedroom. It smells great too!

Rosemary

This one is another herb that can help with sleep and relaxation—it’s known for its ability to reduce depression and anxiety. Plus it has anti-inflammatory properties, so it can be used to treat wounds or headaches without causing side effects like drowsiness or nausea (which happens with some painkillers). If you really love rosemary then make sure you’re using fresh cuttings—you’ll get better results than dried leaves will give you!

Chamomile

How to keep your plant healthy.

To keep your plants happy, you need to water them regularly. Watering is pretty self-explanatory, but there are a few things to remember:

  • Don’t overdo it! If your plant is already moist enough, don’t keep watering it—you might make it soggy and rot the roots (which is not good).
  • Don’t let the water sit in the saucer underneath your plant—this can cause mold or mildew buildup (also not good).
  • Be sure to let the soil dry out between waterings—if you give too much water too quickly, then your roots will rot (you guessed it: also not good).
  • Don’t forget about fertilizer! Fertilizer helps keep plants healthy by giving them nutrients that they would normally get from soil if they were growing outside instead of inside on top of some bookshelves or dressers where no one really cares about how healthy their flowers look anyway because who needs more plants when we could just buy some new shoes instead?

How to care for your plant.

Now that you’ve gotten your plant, it is important to know how to care for it.

  • Watering: You should water your plant every two or three weeks. If you see signs of wilting leaves or drooping, it means that the soil is dry and needs watering. To water the plant, take out the pot from its holder (make sure everything is stable) and then pour some water into a cup until full. Next, gently pour this cupful of water onto the soil until it reaches about one inch deep in height across the surface area of your pot (don’t worry if some spills over). Then put back into its holder and wait another week before watering again!
  • Fertilizing: This can be done either by mixing fertilizer with water directly before pouring into each side of your container or mixing dry fertilizer together with powder form into where it will later go when planting seeds/cuttings; both methods work equally well! Just remember not too much because too much will cause burning damage which could kill off plants entirely within time frames ranging anywhere between minutes up through months depending on severity level..

Plants can be a great addition to your bedroom, as long as you know how to care for them.

With all of the benefits that plants offer, it’s no wonder that many people are looking for ways to incorporate them into their daily lives. For example, some studies have shown that having a plant in your office helps reduce stress and improve concentration. However, there’s one place where you may not think about putting plants: your bedroom!

Plants can be a great addition to your bedroom, as long as you know how to care for them. For example:

  • Plants can help with air quality. There are certain types of plants that absorb more carbon dioxide than others do—so if you have an air purifier or other device that removes pollutants from the air in your room, these types of plants would be ideal choices if they’re placed near it so they can absorb any extra pollutants before they get circulated throughout the room again later on (which is especially important during winter months when heating systems tend generate more harmful fumes). This would also allow said devices time between purification cycles so they don’t burn out prematurely due overuse.”

Conclusion

Overall, plants are a great addition to your bedroom. They will make it more vibrant, add some greenery and maybe even improve the air quality. But you have to be careful about what type of plant you choose, since some can be toxic or difficult to care for. Make sure that if you get one for yourself, it’s something that fits into your lifestyle and personality so that caring for it doesn’t become too much work!
