Did you know that houseplants can make your home feel cooler? I didn’t either, but according to Gardening Express, Brits are actually being advised to add houseplants into their homes to make the air feel cooler and fresher during the UK heatwaves.
To understand more, I spoke to Chris Bonnett, gardening expert and founder of Gardening Express, who explained how houseplants have a natural air purifying function. While they can’t cool down your home the way a fan would, they release water vapour from tiny pores or stomata in their leaves, a process known as transpiration.
