"Sleep" plants: 7 species best suited for growing in the bedroom traduzido por: OPENROUTER

The bedroom is one of the projects of the house where the presence of nature can take on a particularly interesting role. Plants add textures, shapes and shades of green to the decor and help create a more pleasant atmosphere for moments of pause and rest. For this reason, some species have come to be associated with nighttime well-being and became popularly known as "sleep plants".

Despite the name, there is no plant capable, on its own, of guaranteeing a night of better sleep. The choice of species for the bedroom is more related to the characteristics of each plant, such as aroma, adaptation to indoor projects and light requirements. Among the options, there are everything from flowering and fragrant varieties to hardy species that adapt to bedrooms with different growing conditions. Check it out below!

1. Lavender

Lavender is one of the best-known sleep plants, mainly because of its characteristic aroma. Studies cited by experts link its scent to a feeling of calm, making it an interesting option for well-lit bedrooms.

Because it needs plenty of light, it can be placed near a window that gets sun. However, in projects with little natural light, its cultivation may be more difficult.

2. Snake plant

Among the sleep plants most recommended for bedrooms, the snake plant stands out for its resilience. The species tolerates different light conditions and does not need frequent watering, characteristics that favor its cultivation indoors.

It also performs CAM-type photosynthesis, a mechanism that allows gas exchange at different times than those observed in most plants. This has contributed to its popularity among species recommended for bedrooms.

3. Aloe vera

Aloe, also known as aloe vera, is another species that uses CAM metabolism. In addition to its ornamental interest, it features succulent leaves and an appearance that pairs well with more natural decor proposals.

Like the snake plant, it prefers spaced-out watering and projects with plenty of light. For this reason, a bedroom near a window may offer more suitable conditions for its development.

4. Jasmine

Jasmine appears among the species associated with a more relaxing atmosphere mainly because of its striking fragrance. The presence of an aromatic plant can contribute to the perception of coziness, especially when the scent is pleasant to whoever occupies the space.

As with any fragrant species, however, it is worth observing the sensitivity of those who sleep in the bedroom. Intense fragrances can be uncomfortable for some people.

5. Peace lily

With its green leaves and light-colored flowers, the peace lily adapts well to indoor projects and can add volume to bedroom decor. The species is also known for contributing to the humidity of the space through leaf transpiration.

To grow it, it is important to keep the soil adequately moist and provide indirect light. Excess water, on the other hand, can harm the roots.

6. Gerbera

Colorful and delicate in appearance, the gerbera is an alternative for those who want to bring flowers into the bedroom. Its presence also allows you to incorporate pops of color into the room without relying exclusively on decorative objects

To keep it healthy, it is important to ensure good lighting and attention to watering.

7. Ivy

Ivy is another species that appears among the options for resting projects. With hanging or trained growth, it can occupy shelves without requiring a large floor area.

Like any plant kept in an indoor project, ventilation, lighting, and watering frequency must be considered.
