Our modern lifestyles are fast-paced and keep us so busy that we’re not able to take the time to fully connect with nature. It is said that people who are in tune with nature are happier, more energetic, and find more meaning in life.
Being surrounded by plants and trees has a calm, healing effect on our bodies and minds. After spending an entire day at work, all you probably want to do is relax.
Getting outdoors is a great way to free your mind and reduce your stress, but after a long, hard day, you might not feel motivated to step outside when there are other things to do. And the amount of personal time you have is limited enough as it is.
So if you don’t have time to go outside but want to reap the benefits of connecting with nature, why not bring nature into your home and construct an indoor Zen garden?
Zen gardens are popular because they promote tranquility, relaxation, and meditation. Find your inner peace by building a Zen garden of your own. Here are the best plants for an indoor Zen garden.
Money Tree
The money tree’s braided trunk and bright green leaves make it a visually appealing houseplant. It is believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
The positive energy it’s supposed to bring into your home makes it the perfect addition to your Zen garden and will lift your spirits almost immediately.
The compact tree is easy to care for, with its simple requirements of bright, indirect sunlight and water when the soil’s surface is dry.
