There's science behind the boost too. According to NASA research, living plants can help clean the air indoors by removing up to 87% of air toxins and irritants in just 24 hours. And a 2016 Harvard psychology study (PDF) found that people felt less stressed and more compassionate towards others when they were surrounded by flowers.
