Enhance your sleep with these bedroom-friendly plants
Some potted flowers can serve more than just a decorative function. A few of them support our sleep. What should you place on the windowsill in the bedroom?
Properly selected potted plants in the bedroom can help improve the quality of sleep. Some species can purify and humidify the air, aiding relaxation and making it easier to fall asleep.
Healthy sleep? Place these plants in the bedroom
Jasmine
This beautiful climbing plant with small flowers has surprising properties. It emits a sweet scent, which is used in the production of essential oils, among other things. Placing a jasmine seedling in the bedroom can help us fall asleep faster. Remember to place the pot in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. Also, keep the soil and air moist to fully utilize the plant's properties. Jasmine can improve our well-being, calm us, and soothe our anxieties.
Lavender
Lavender cannot be missing from this list, as it's probably the first that comes to mind when we think of plants with calming properties. The scent of lavender relaxes us, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress. Keep the pot of lavender on a sunny windowsill. Water regularly, but sparingly.
Snake Plant
The snake plant, also known as sansevieria, positively affects our well-being. It purifies the air of toxins and regulates its humidity. "Mother-in-law's tongue" releases oxygen at night, converting it to carbon dioxide.
Peace Lily
It's worth remembering the properties of the peace lily. This potted flower purifies the air and increases humidity in the room. These factors are crucial for promoting good sleep. Peace lilies can easily be placed in a less sunny part of the bedroom; slightly shaded areas are not a problem for them. However, pay attention to proper watering, and give the plant water once a week.
Areca Palm
Finally, there's good news for areca palm enthusiasts—it is another potted plant that positively affects the quality of our sleep. Like the peace lily and "mother-in-law's tongue," the areca palm increases air humidity, making it easier for us to breathe. For this plant, remember that the minimum recommended temperature for its cultivation is 64°F.
