If you are planning to buy new houseplants, then you should make one of them a Bamboo plant. One that happens to have a lot of green stalks.
According to Chinese tradition, the more stalks your plant has, the more health benefits you reap.
Based on a two-year research study by NASA, Bamboo plants are great at detoxifying nasty indoor pollutants like chemical vapors that can come from paint, plastic, new rugs and furniture.
And while it is cleaning the air in our home, bamboo releases oxygen as well. That pure oxygen can help people sleep better, feel more energetic and even have less allergy symptoms.
In addition to helping you breathe fresh air, bamboo plants make excellent spider mite repellents.
A pretty indoor plant that repels nasty spiders. Got to love it.
Another health benefit of having a Bamboo plant is that it will help moisturize the air, especially during the winter months when there is naturally less moisture in the air.
Easy to grow plants that can keep spiders away sound pretty awesome to me. Cleaning the air in my house at the same time?
But really. A plant that fights spiders. That is all the reason I need to go buy a Bamboo plant today.
