Reason 2
THEY’RE NATURAL HUMIDIFIERS.
Instead of spending a small fortune for a pricy appliance to regulate dry winter air, place a few Ferns around your home. They release moisture through a process called transpiration, which is when the pores on the bottom of the leaves basically sweat and release much needed moisture.

Reason 8
THEY HELP WITH CONCENTRATION.
Studies have shown and found that students demonstrated 70% greater attentiveness when in a room with plants. There are a slew of varieties that can survive in offices with little light, but bamboo will give your work space a much-needed feng shui boost.
