GREEN AND COOL

Trees and plants cool themselves and their surroundings through a process called transpiration, where water evaporates from their leaves.

This evaporation removes heat from the air, providing a natural cooling effect.

Here’s a list of plants to keep your home cool throughout the summer:

This indoor-friendly leafy tree maintains moisture and coolness in the air. Place your ficus in medium light to ensure it receives enough sunlight.

Plants with more foliage and larger leaves release more moisture into the air. Varieties that thrive in humid conditions absorb water through their roots and release it through pores on their leaves or fronds.

This succulent transpires moisture to cool the air and releases oxygen, keeping you comfortable on hot summer nights. It also helps purify the air by removing toxins like benzene and formaldehyde.

This plant purifies toxins from the air and has a high transpiration rate, enhancing local humidity. Grouping it with other plants can create a mini ecosystem that boosts surrounding humidity.

Arranging palms creates a beautiful mini indoor rain forest, adding a tropical feel to your home. It’s an excellent way to enhance your space during the summer months.
