Interior Plants

Plants improve indoor air quality by helping to remove chemicals from the air, acting as the lungs of an indoor environment.

Most plants used in buildings in the Midwest are actually tropicals. They are adapted to growing under canopy trees and by necessity have to be very efficient at capturing light. This makes tropicals well-suited to the lighting of indoor offices and homes.

They provide a lush environment, enhancing aesthetics, professionalism, and important impressions. The value of embracing plants in building interiors, however, goes further. Studies have shown that exposure to green plants can result in improved concentration, reduced absenteeism, deceased stress, better grades, and decreased recovery time after surgery.

Tropical plants also clean the air. As understory plants, tropicals are very efficient at processing gasses. This is important because people, building supplies, and office materials all emit gasses that can contribute to building-related illnesses. Plants can absorb these gases and convert them to beneficial nutrients, improving surrounding air quality. Plants even exhibit specializations in absorbing specific toxins.

Plants also affect the humidity in buildings through their transpiration, or evaporation from their leaves. Optimal humidity levels range between 35 and 65 percent relative humidity – the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air could hold at that temperature. Along with moisture, plants emit phytochemicals that suppress mold spores and bacteria found in ambient air, helping decrease the incidence of allergic and respiratory problems.
