Have you ever thought that office plants are not just for decoration, but also perform a useful function? That's right: adding an indoor plant on the PC desk, on a chest of drawers or on a shelf in the room helps to purify the air, making the environment clean, with more oxygen and fewer toxins to breathe better and ensure greater well-being. Furthermore, they can improve mood and, therefore, the work environment itself: in "greener" offices there is a greater level of well-being, according to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.

The space where we work is one of the places where we spend the most time during the day: for this reason it is important to guarantee optimal comfort conditions inside, both on a psychophysical and environmental level.
