One of the biggest reasons why I have houseplants

One of the biggest reasons why I have houseplants has nothing to do with how pretty they look in my home. I got into this hobby because dementia runs in my family. The Benefits of Houseplants & indoor gardening. One thing I found fascinating is that it is a multi-sensory activity. You're using sight, touch, smell, as well as problem-solving skills and memory all at once. This gives your brain a little workout while caring for something living. One study of over 136,000 adults found that people who garden have lower odds of experiencing cognitive decline. Because when you think about it, every plant is like a little puzzle. You're constantly learning "How much light does it need?" "What soil makes it happy?" "Is it a pest or is it a weird leaf?" As cheesy as it sounds... houseplants is not just about growing leaves. They help us grow too.
