You probably don't think about houseplants when you start decorating your bedroom. But it is really more than worth your while to look into this. Because in addition to a good mattress and nice pillow, plants can also contribute to a better night's sleep. And it is a myth that it is better not to put plants in your bedroom. It's true that they use some oxygen at night, but your roommate uses more and you wouldn't send him out of the house, would you?! Plants provide a soothing environment and purify the air. But which plants are best to put in the bedroom? We have listed them so that you can sleep like a baby!

Are plants in your bedroom recommended or not?

It is often thought that it is not wise or even harmful to provide your bedroom with plants. This is because they remove oxygen from the air at night. Plants are known for taking carbon dioxide from the air and converting it into oxygen. But that's a different story at night. Without sunlight, plants actually consume oxygen. However, this amount is so small that we do not have to worry about it. At the bottom line, a plant releases more oxygen than it consumes. And you benefit from an oxygen-rich climate during the night. So don't let that stop you from providing your bedroom with plants.

You may wonder why patient rooms in hospitals are not also equipped with plants if this has such a beneficial effect? That has completely different reasons. Plants are not allowed here because potting soil simply contains bacteria and fungi, even the good ones. That is why no risks are taken in a hospital.
