Houseplants make you happy
Bring the outside in to boost(使兴旺；使增长) your well-being(康乐).
Plants aren't just nice to look at. They can also help your health and well-being. This is especially true indoors.
Find your perfect plant
There are many different types of houseplants. There are tiny succulents and cacti, hanging plants with trailing foliage and plants that can grow more than a metre tall and wide. Your curiosity and knowledge of nature will develop as you research and learn about different plants. 1

Plants need water, light and attention. Caring for plants teaches you how to be responsible. Rowan Hammond runs a plant and flower shop called Green and Grounded. She says looking after plants improves your attention to detail. It is a great way to gain a sense of purpose. And it is an exciting way to learn about the influence your actions have on others. 3 They can also inspire new ideas. You're rewarded for the love and care you give. You feel like you have achieved something when you see the plant growing and flowering. You also develop patience. You can't make the plant grow faster.

Houseplants help you feel calmer and less anxious. Studies show that nature lowers stress levels and boosts your mood. Hammond says, “Surrounding yourself with foliage helps you relax and soothes(缓解) you.”
Looking after plants gives you something to focus on. If you're near plants, it can help you relax. 5 Plants take in the carbon dioxide we breathe out. They release oxygen, which we breathe in. This may also help you to sleep at night especially if you have a plant such as lavender（薰衣草）in your room. Some plants are medicinal. The gel(啫喱) released by snipping an aloe vera leaf(芦荟叶) soothes sunburn. On a windowsill you can grow plants to eat, such as salad leaves, tomatoes or even chilies.
