Table of Contents


1. Why Do We Need Plants in Our Study?

As the amount of time we spend working or studying at home increases, our study has become more than just a workspace; it's now a crucial place for boosting concentration and creativity. Adding plants to this space doesn't just enhance aesthetics; it brings various positive effects, including improved air quality, reduced stress, and increased psychological stability. Today, we'll explore how to use plants to make your study a more vibrant and comfortable environment




2. Guide to Choosing Plants Suitable for Your Study

It's important to choose plants that are well-suited for your study environment. Consider these three factors:

1) Air Purifying Capabilities

In a study with many electronic devices like computers and printers, plants that remove harmful substances from the air are particularly useful. Pothos, Sansevieria, and Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) are among the plants recognized by NASA for their excellent air-purifying abilities.



2) Ease of Care

It's best to choose plants that are easy to care for, even with a busy schedule. Cacti, succulents, and Zamioculcas zamiifolia (ZZ plant) are suitable for beginners as they don't require frequent watering. Considering plants that thrive in low-light conditions (shade-tolerant plants) is also a good idea.



3) Aesthetic Appeal

Choose plants with shapes and sizes that complement your study's overall interior design. Plants with clean forms suit a simple and modern study, while those with lush foliage fit a more natural ambiance.




3. Study Interior Tips Using Plants

The way you arrange your plants can significantly change the atmosphere of your study.

1) Small Plants on Your Desk

Place one or two small plants on your desk to provide visual comfort during work. Mini Sansevieria, Pothos, or Ivy add vitality without taking up too much space.



2) Utilizing Plant Stands

Using plant stands of various heights can add a sense of dimension to your space. Elevating planters on stands saves floor space and creates an eye-catching focal point. (Refer to plant stand interior ideas here)



3) Maximizing Space with Hanging Plants

Hanging plants, which can be suspended from walls or ceilings, efficiently utilize space while creating a unique atmosphere. Rhipsalis, Dischidia, and Staghorn Ferns are popular hanging plant options.



4) Making a Statement with Large Plants

Placing large plants like Monstera, Bird of Paradise, or Rubber Plant in an empty corner or space in your study can add grandeur and stability to the room. These plants can significantly influence the overall ambiance of your study.



4. Plant Care Q&A


Q1: My study doesn't get much light. What plants would be good to place there?

A1: For low-light environments, Pothos, Sansevieria, Monstera, and Peace Lily thrive well. These are classified as 'shade-tolerant plants' and can grow healthily with relatively less light.


Q2: How do I know when to water my plants?

A2: While it varies by plant, it's generally best to water when the surface of the soil feels dry. Insert your finger about 2-3 cm into the soil; if it feels crumbly, water thoroughly. Be careful not to overwater, as it can be detrimental to plants.


Q3: My plants look droopy. Why is that?

A3: There could be various reasons such as overwatering, underwatering, lack of sunlight, or pests. Carefully check the soil condition, leaf color and texture, and for any signs of pests, then take appropriate action. Early detection of symptoms is important.


Q4: Is it okay to use an air purifier alongside plants?

A4: Yes, absolutely. While plants help purify the air, air purifiers are even more effective at removing fine dust and allergens. Using them together allows you to maintain the best air quality in your study, creating an even more pleasant environment. (More information on air-purifying plants)
