It is no mystery that being around nature reduces our stress levels almost immediately. Free therapy right there.
It's so uncanny that one day we are happily strolling outside no care in the world and the next we are cooped up in our homes, going outside masked up and more than a little anxious about getting back to the house at the earliest.
There goes life and its mysteries. I bet we will never again take advantage of the gardens and parks that provide us with winding down spots ever again. As we wait for the "Rona" to go away, we can do a few things to make our environment and mental health thrive and one of these is indoor gardening.
Potted plants have been a part of people's culture for a long time but now more than ever we have to increase this practice because as has been proven in studies world over, bringing a bit of nature indoors goes a long way.
If you already have one potted plant in your home or office then you've got a head start and can only go up from here. If you're doing this for the first time, you are in the right place and will not regret a moment of it.
A great place to start with indoor gardening is to go for the hardy near impossible to kill indoor plants.
These include but are not limited to;
Aglaonema
Dieffenbachia
Spider Plant
Cast Iron
With any of these varieties including a few others like Mother-in-law's tongue, Chinese Fan Palm and Dracaena, you are well on your way to becoming a plant parent with therapeutic benefits to last a lifetime.
It is paramount that as we take care of our physical health now more than ever before, we forget not our mental health which enables us to function optimally from day to day.
Try out a potted plant in any of your spaces and see it add onto all the other work you put into your mental health.
