Japanese scientists have proven that 6 plants can calm people who are too nervous

Japanese scientists from the University of Hiago in Awaji decided to conduct an experiment: office workers had to take care of flowers, water them and just admire them every day during the work shift. The results showed that some indoor plants are indeed able to calm the nervous system. The subjects managed to cope with stress, they were less likely to be bothered by sleep problems, the feeling of anxiety disappeared and their heart rate returned to normal.

Orchid

The participants of the experiment chose the orchid on their own. And this is not surprising, the orchid family cannot but delight the eye with its beauty. At first, the orchid needs rest, store it in a dark place for two weeks, but gradually rearrange it to accustom it to light.

But it should be added that the family has more than 30 species of orchids, so the recommendations for each species may differ. The orchid is considered one of the most beautiful plants and will be a great addition to your home or office interior.

Bonsai

A miniature tree, the name of which means "grown on a tray" in Japanese. The plant is not particularly demanding: you need to take care of the soil (watch out for its looseness) and do not forget to cut the crown of the tree. Optimum temperature for keeping: 10-18 ° C, the more light, the easier the bonsai tolerates an increase in temperature.

Bonsai is not very common in our country, but in vain, this plant looks interesting and does not require special care. This tree will be the perfect addition to your workplace or home.

Cactus San Pedro

The plant is often called "shamanic", it is believed that the cactus has certain healing properties and is a powerful psychedelic. Therefore, it was once used by South American shamans.

Nowadays the San Pedro cactus is nothing more than an interior decoration. It is suitable for lovers of minimalism and those who do not have enough time to take care of flowers: cacti retain moisture for a long time, so you can water them once a month (and in the summer - every week).

Echeveria

Echeveria is of several types, from the most unremarkable to the beautiful and unimaginable plants. Therefore, it will suit both connoisseurs of simplicity in the interior, and those who prefer something unusual.

Echeveria loves the sun's rays and does not require frequent watering. The optimum temperature is 10-16 degrees for non-flowering echeveria, for flowering echeveria - 18-21.

Spathiphyllum

The second common name is “female happiness”. Another plant chosen by the participants in the experiment. Visually, it also resembles certain types of orchids. Spathiphyllum loves warmth, moisture, and spraying. In winter, you can water once a week, and in summer up to three times a day.

Aloe

Everyone's favorite aloe is also suitable for lovers of simplicity and minimalism. The subjects chose this plant themselves; it looks quite interesting, does not require special care and has certain useful properties. And they water it once a month.
