Purify the air and cheer people up: the best indoor plants for winter

Winter is a difficult period for our health and general well-being due to low levels of sunlight. However, the right choice of indoor plants can make a difference. Not only do they add color and freshness to the interior, but they also purify the air, improve humidity, and create an atmosphere of peace and harmony.

Kelly Dyer, an expert from Patch Plants, told us which plants to choose for the winter period to create coziness and improve well-being. If you want to turn your home into a cozy and healthy place even during the cold season, choose these plants.

Studies show that houseplants reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels, improve concentration, and even fight fatigue.

It's important to remember that many houseplants are dormant during the winter months, so they need less watering but more care.

You need to cut off yellow or brown leaves to keep plants healthy. Still, avoid any major pruning.

Spathiphyllum is well suited for the winter period. Delicate flowers not only add elegance to the interior, but also actively purify the air, removing toxins and harmful substances. Spathiphyllum feels great in low light and maintains the humidity level in the room. This plant is also known to have a calming effect and can help reduce stress levels.

Cacti and succulents are easy to care for. They don't need much water and adapt perfectly to winter conditions. In addition to their decorative function, cacti help purify the air by absorbing harmful gases and toxins. They can also improve your emotional state, creating an atmosphere of peace and harmony in the house.

Climbing plants are a great way to add a vertical accent and liven up any interior. Their long shoots can absorb harmful substances released by household chemicals.

Orchids also absorb harmful substances from the air, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene.
