I've heard that their are studies showing seeing green in soothing to humans. This would make sense evolutionarily speaking as being drawn to green would mean being drawn to food and water. As far as that oxygen thing that's total b.s. They put off such a negligable amount of oxygen that it won't make up for the rate of exchange with air outside your house. In other words, it makes no difference. It's like that theory that splashing water on your face is good for you because there's oxygen in water. Such a crock of ****. It's not like the oxygen dissociates from the hydrogens and is absorbed in your cells. It's pretty much like saying you should throw an orange at your face because it contains vitamin C.

Only if you talk to them, at least in a transcendent way. If you treat them as mere objects, they will provide no benefit. It is the relationship you have with your plants that can be beneficial. I have taken plants that have almost died with others and had them flower, but I also have a lot of support. Good luck!

It depends on how well the plants are doing.. If you take a good care of it and its doing great.. you feel great because it looks great, give out oxygen..adds decor to your surroundings.. However if it is not watered, it looks dull and dying..definitely it would not set a good precedent

Yep.. cause they give off oxygen, which improves your health, which in turn, improves your mood.
