Plants do more for your health than look good
BY LIZ DOUVILLE
For The bulletin
R
esearch conducted at
Washington State Uni-
versity indicates that
there is an interaction between
plants and people that im-
proves health and productivity.
Studies show that people
perform better and have lower
blood pressure when plants
are around. Compare how
you feel in the months that we
have the visual of greenery and
plants growing compared to
the bland landscape we have
entered into.
Productivity increased 12%
when people performed a sim-
ple task on a computer in a
room with plants, compared
with workers who performed
the same task in the same
room without plants. The task
was stressful. Blood pressure
for both groups rose during the
task, but only two points for
people tested with plants, while
it rose four points for people
tested without plants.
The blood pressure for both
groups before the test was
roughly the same. Additionally,
the people tested in the pres-
ence of plants reported feeling
10% more attentive after the
task than those tested without
plants.
For the experiment, com-
mon low-light tolerant species
of interior plants were added
around the periphery of the
room. Floor plants, table plants
and hanging plants were added
which gave the appearance of a
well-designed, but not lush in-
terior-scape.
Clearing the air
Plants were positioned so
that clusters would be present
in the peripheral view of each
subject’s activities. In addition
to the stress testing, relative hu-
midity and dust particles were
measured. When plants were
present, air quality was better.
The WSU study pointed to
evidence that suggests fewer
colds occur in offices where
plants are present. Research
conducted by NASA disclosed

that houseplants can remove up
to 87% of air toxins in 24 hours.
The restrictions in place
since the COVID, and now
the possibility of the variants
spreading, has resulted in be-
coming more creative in plan-
ning the at-home office space.
One could also include school
study space improvements.
The idea of improving home
office space with houseplants
has become so popular it has
created a high demand and
short supply in many large
metro areas. Holiday plant sea-
son has arrived with a variety
of poinsettias available that
have always been a traditional
gift. Instead, this year why not
consider giving a houseplant?
It’s more permanent and re-
quires less care.
Shopping tips
Central Oregon has many
local garden nurseries that of-
fer houseplants. Recently, a
specialty shop offering house-
plants relocated within the
Bend area.
Plants are living things and
aren’t perfect. A yellow leaf or
a tear in a leaf doesn’t mean it
is unhealthy. Your nursery or
shop is happy to offer care ad-
vice when you purchase the
plant.
A few tips when shopping
for a plant would include

not to touch the leaves. The oils
on your fingers can cause dam-
age. Remember to start small
and with easy-care plants espe-
cially for anyone who if a first-
timer. Exotic looking plants are
impressive but generally take
more care. It is better to hold
off on those until more confi-
dence has built up.
Plants that tolerate low light
are usually happiest near an
east-or-north-facing window.
A few suggestions would be the

Cast-iron plant, low light and
also drought tolerant and the
Peace lily. The Peace Lily is one
of the few plants that bloom re-
liably indoors.
Plants that prefer bright light
do well in dappled sunlight
but not direct sun. Favorites
for bright light are the Prayer
plant, leaves curl up at night
like hands folded in prayer.
Dracaenas are best known
for their long leaves that grow
outward and up from a cen-
tral stalk. They tolerate a wide
variety of growing conditions.
Trailing Peperomia forms a
compact bouquet of foliage.
Sansevieria bears thick sword-
like leaves and is admired for
its tough nature., also known
as mother-in-law’s tongue.
If you have curious pets, it
would be wise to check the list-
ing of the ASPA for plants that
are toxic to cats and dogs.
