Do you feel depressed? Improve your mood with these low-maintenance houseplants

Most of us developed an obsession with houseplants during the pandemic, but we also sought ease in care, with searches for “how not to kill your houseplant” rising by 200 percent during this time. The greatest houseplants to have in your home to improve your mood this summer have been identified by Wren Kitchens if you want to add some new greenery to your area but don’t want the hassle of complicated maintenance:

Aloe vera
The gel from aloe vera, which has potent antioxidants, can aid to cure acne, sunburns, dry skin, as well as ease itching brought on by insect bites. Place your aloe vera plant in bright, indirect sunlight, and let it dry in between waterings to ensure its success.

Fishbone cactus
Like regular cacti, the fishbone cactus is extremely easy to look after, tolerating indirect light and little watering. Its unique shaped leaves resemble a fishbone (hence the name) and can often trail down as it grows larger, making it a perfect hanging plant.

Snake plant
Have you ever had trouble keeping plants alive? Consider a snake plant; they take minimal upkeep and have the power to significantly enhance wellbeing by removing dangerous pollutants from the air. They also primarily produce oxygen at night, making them the perfect bedroom plants for allergy sufferers.

Peace lily
According to feng shui, peace lilies help to create a calm and harmonious environment, making them ideal for promoting wellbeing at home. Not only do they soak up mould spores in the air; they also absorb their water before releasing it back into their environment- a bonus for those with dry homes.

Monstera
You’ve likely seen the Monstera (also referred to as a Swiss cheese plant) clogging up your Insta feed, but they can actually boost your mood. They purify the air, making your home healthier – plus, you can grow new plants from their cuttings.
