12 Flowering Plants to Improve Your Health and Brighten Your Space

Summary: Want to brighten your office and make the air inside it cleaner to breathe? Try putting one or more of these 12 flowering plants in it.

When it comes to growing flowers, not everyone has the outdoor space to create a garden or beautiful patio filled with vibrant colors. Many people, especially city-dwellers, live in apartments with no outdoor space but still want the opportunity to enjoy flowers. Even adding some flowers or plants to your office can brighten up the room and make your space more enjoyable and welcoming.

Not only are they pretty, but houseplants have many other benefits as well. Houseplants assist in breathing by bringing more oxygen into the space, they help deter illness by increasing humidity in the air, they clean the air, they boost healing by lowering stress and anxiety, and they help you work better by improving concentration, memory, and productivity.

If you want to add a couple flowering plants to your home or office but don’t know where to begin, here are some beautiful options to get you started.
