Properly selected potted plants in the bedroom can help improve the quality of sleep. Some species can purify and humidify the air, which aids relaxation and makes it easier to fall asleep.

Healthy sleep? Place these plants in the bedroom

Jasmine

This beautiful climbing plant with small flowers has surprising properties. It emits a sweet scent, which is used to produce essential oils. Placing a jasmine seedling in the bedroom will help you fall asleep faster. Remember to place the pot in a bright spot but away from direct sunlight. Also, keep the soil and air moist to fully utilize the plant's properties. Jasmine can improve our well-being, calm us, and soothe our anxieties.

Lavender

Lavender cannot be missed on this list, as it is probably the first plant that comes to mind when we think of calming properties. The scent of lavender relaxes us, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress. Keep the pot of lavender on a sunny windowsill. Water it regularly but sparingly.

Snake plant

The snake plant, also known as sansevieria, positively affects our well-being. It purifies the air of toxins and regulates its humidity. At night, "mother-in-law's tongue" releases oxygen, which it converts to carbon dioxide.

Peace lily

It's worth reminding people about the properties of the peace lily. This potted flower also purifies the air and increases humidity in the room, which are very important factors in promoting good sleep. Peace lilies, as they are commonly called, can easily be placed in a less sunny part of the bedroom—slightly shaded areas are not a problem for them. However, proper watering should be paid attention to, and the plant should be watered once a week.

Areca palm

Finally, good news for areca palm enthusiasts - it is another potted plant that positively affects the quality of our sleep. Like the peace lily and "mother-in-law's tongue," the areca palm increases air humidity, making it easier for us to breathe. For this plant, remember that the minimum recommended temperature for its cultivation is 18°C.
