Self-Care Benefits of Plants

Let me warn you now: I'm a huge fan of houseplants because of the amazing benefits and the joy they provide. Let's face it: we all could use an additional spark of joy during these times with the ongoing global pandemic.
If you are not (yet) a plant enthusiast, I want to change you to reconsider right now. Plants are dope. Period. Let me tell you the reasons why according to this article from Healthline:
Plants help people reduce stress
Plants help people improve their focus
Plants help people feel less lonely
Plants help people increase their creativity
Plants filter the air, which helps people recover from illness quicker
If I had to add my own reason why everyone should have at least one living plant in their homes it has to be because plants give people a sense of purpose. Purpose encourages people to get up and try again day after day.
