Are you also fond of green plants?
If you have green plants around you, for example at home, you can have better health and fewer sick days.
Find out why green plants are good for you.
The dark season
The Danish Health Authority has a number of recommendations for how we should clean and how much we should ventilate, but did you know that you can make your home even healthier to be in if you also have green plants?
While the plans are decorative and beautiful, they also help clean the air.
In 1998, the Norwegian biologist Tove Fjeld investigated the effect of having green plants in the office. The result was that employees who were surrounded by green plants had significantly fewer sick days, fewer colds and felt less tired.
From CO2 to oxygen
The plants convert CO2 into oxygen all the time. The bigger the plants, the more they can help clean the air where you live and sleep.
The cleaner air you move in, the better you feel and the more energy you get too.
Your home is toxic
Have you ever wondered if you have something toxic at home? No, right? But we all have that.
Our furniture and all the building materials in the walls, ceilings and floors emit toxins that linger in the air for a long time unless we have plants at home that can help us fight them.
Which plants are best?
There are some plants that are more effective than others. Among the most effective at cleaning the air is Mother-in-law's Sharp Tongue, the upright plant with many long narrow pointed leaves.
Aloe Vera is also fantastic, and you can actually use it for everything else, for example to soothe a burn if you have touched something hot from the oven or have been scalded by steam from the boiler. You just have to break one of the thick leaves and apply the gel inside the leaf. The gel from Aloe Vera can also help with pimples and impure skin.
4 plant maps
We just can't get enough of the beautiful green plants, and that's also why we love the 4 birthday cards with the most beautiful green plants on them. Can you recognize the plants?
Monstera
Especially Monstera with the big beautiful split leaves can impress us every day. It should not be in the sun, because the large leaves already emit a lot of water, so if you have a slightly dark corner in your living room, put your Monstera there. It will thrive there.
Agave
Agave comes from Central America, and there are over 200 different agaves. All the plants grow with the leaves close together almost like a rose. Agave are slightly cactus-like with thorns on the leaves and they are easy to care for. They can get old and huge and don't need very much water.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus comes from Australia and Tasmania, and it is the leaves from these trees that the koalas eat in large quantities. There are over 700 species, and the one we have chosen for our card has fine, round, soft leaves.
Phoenix palm
The large palm fronds immediately lead the mind to more southern climes, and that is also the intention. The palm is also available as a potted plant, and fills the living room well. It is easy to care for and thrives in the living room. The living room variety rarely grows over 1.5 meters high.
