Green the color of balance/ Shades of green/ Go green


Our existence in the universe is simply because of the greenery around us. It is too hard to believe that without trees we humans would not exist on this beautiful planet, but let’s face it as this is the fact. Our existing forests and the trees we plant, work in tandem to make a better world.
Trees have inspired us for 1000 of years and it’s no wonder that they have always been a cultural symbol. Apart from balancing the ecology the trees have also proven to be beneficial for various purposes when planted inside home.  Little is known that the simple presence of the color green can do wonders in a home.
Trees planted indoors not only improve the indoor air quality but it also adds beauty to the decorum. Study suggests that greenery at home enhances creativity and productivity in a human being. Most importantly research shows that patients in hospitals who have more view of greenery are likely to recover faster than the rest.
The presence of green color in the work atmosphere reduces the risk of blood pressure for the employees by 5 points than in non-plant offices. One need not put a real plant in the office even a fake green plant can do wonders to your health. The live plants also reduce stress, reduce air-borne bacteria by 50-60%, remove toxic chemicals and produce oxygen.
There is a proverb that says, ‘The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second time is now.’ Whether you are planting a tree as a tribute to a loved one, beautifying your neighborhood, increasing your home’s curb appeal, or simply just helping the planet they tend to play a significant role in our lives. Thus 75% of all households have at least one indoor plant.
Plants whether creeper or potted when planted inside home unleash their glamour and make the space more relaxing, healthy and beautiful.
