In addition to being charming and versatile, they also play a key role in improving the environments in which they are grown.
One of the main advantages of succulents is their ability to purify the air. This feature is especially important indoors where air circulation may be limited.
These plants absorb carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis and release oxygen. In this way, they manage to improve the quality of the air we breathe.
Succulents also help to stabilize the moisture in the air. They absorb excessive moisture, gradually releasing it, creating a healthier environment. This is especially beneficial in regions with a dry climate, where air humidity can be low.
Another advantage of succulents is their ability to absorb noises. They act as a kind of acoustic barrier, reducing unwanted sounds and creating a more peaceful and relaxing environment.
Whether in pots, terrariums or vertical gardens, succulents add a touch of charm and life to spaces, making them more welcoming, pleasant and healthy.
