Golden pothos and snake plant

Golden pothos and snake plant ()

A healthy night’s sleep is worth its weight in gold. There is no substitute for it. As important as it is, a healthy night’s rest isn't something that is common with the rigors of the modern world. You may not be able to do much about today’s stressors, but you can influence the quality of your night's rest. Certain bedroom plants have been found to help promote a good night's rest, allowing you to sleep better each night. Plants are a natural way of doing this.

Here are some bedroom plants for a healthier night’s rest:

Snake plant

Of course, when you are looking for a plant for your bedroom, one of the qualities you want is for it to be easy to cater for. The snake plant is notoriously low maintenance with a penchant for air purification, making it the ideal bedroom plant. Not all bedroom plants can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen at night (they can only do so during the day), but snake plants are one of the few that can. Snake plants will help you get a quality night's sleep by purifying the air and eliminating all allergy triggers that may cause discomfort.

Philippine evergreen

Another plant known for its air-purifying qualities, the Philippine evergreen is an excellent choice thanks to its ability to remove chemicals from the air. Philippine evergreen is the perfect bedroom plant thanks to its low light requirement and minimalistic requirements to grow.

English ivy hanging plant

The perfect plant for those who are prone to allergies, the English ivy hanging plant is a great bedroom plant for a healthy night’s rest. By eliminating mold and fecal matter from the air, it will improve the air quality and reduce the chances of an asthma attack. The only downside to this otherwise great plant is that it is toxic when ingested. To ensure no one ingests it, hang it out of the reach of children and pets.

Lavender blooming plant

If you are looking for a healthy bedroom plant that will add some fragrance, then the Lavender blooming plant is ideal. The only thing you will need to worry about is the amount of light that this plant needs to grow. To ensure this plant gets adequate light, put it close to a window with adequate sunlight exposure. With the fragrances and oils this plant produces, it will be impossible not to find it helpful for a good night’s sleep.

Golden pothos

There is no greater attraction to a bedroom plant than it being easy to care for and that is precisely what you get with the golden pothos. One of the few plants that does not require too much light, the golden pothos is a great addition to your bedroom, as it also adds some aesthetic value. The climbing abilities of the golden pothos can be used to decorate the room whilst also improving your sleep quality.

Heartleaf philodendron

If you are looking for a bedroom plant sole based on its ability to absorb chemicals from the air, then look no further than the heartleaf philodendron. With this plant, say goodbye to common problems like sore throats, colds, respiratory issues, and other problems caused by chemicals in the air. In terms of aesthetic value, the heartleaf philodendron isn't a bad addition to the home either.

Ferns

Ferns are one of the most common bedroom plants, and with good reason too. Ferns are excellent at filtering chemicals in the air, making them ideally suited as bedroom plants. The only thing you will need to ensure is that the environment is a bit humid, as ferns thrive best under such conditions. With ferns in your bedroom, say goodbye to air pollutants and hello to a healthy night's sleep.

All bedroom plants will require at least a little bit of light, with some requiring a lot more. To ensure that the plants get enough light, you can install grow lights in the bedroom. Grow lights allow you to control the quantity and intensity of the light, ultimately, controlling the growth of the plant. Bedroom plants are a fantastic way to improve air quality and improve the quality of your night’s rest. By adding the right bedroom plant, you not only improve the air quality but can add aesthetic value, as well as pleasant fragrances.
