The Importance of Indoor Plants in Your Home.
How Greenery Supports Your Health, Your Kids, and Your Well-Being
By Twenty One Plants
1. Health Benefits: Cleaner, Fresher Air
Indoor plants act as natural air purifiers. Many common houseplants absorb toxins, release oxygen, and help balance humidity, making your home feel fresher and more comfortable.
Some of the plants we carry at Twenty One Plants—like Snake Plants, Pothos, and Peace Lilies—help reduce common indoor pollutants found in furniture, carpets, and cleaning products. Cleaner air can improve breathing, reduce headaches, and even support better sleep.
Plants great for air purification:
Snake Plant
Peace Lily
Golden Pothos
ZZ Plant
2. Great for Kids: Learning, Growth & Healthy Habits
Bringing plants into a home with children is a powerful way to support learning and development. Indoor plants teach kids responsibility through simple care routines and spark curiosity as they watch leaves unfurl and new growth appear.
Being surrounded by greenery also helps children:
Improve focus and creativity
Reduce stress and overstimulation
Build an appreciation for nature
Kid-friendly plants we often recommend include Spider Plants, ZZ Plants, and Pothos—all easy to care for and safe for beginners.
3. Mental Wellness: A Natural Source of Calm
In a world filled with constant noise and digital distractions, indoor plants offer something rare: peace. They create soothing environments that lower stress, boost mood, and help you feel more grounded.
Whether you’re working from home, relaxing after a long day, or simply enjoying a quiet corner, plants make your space feel calmer and more balanced. Even a single plant on your desk or nightstand can make a noticeable difference.
