1. Science-Backed Benefits of the Money Plant
1.1 Air Filtration: Myth or Reality?
NASA’s famous 1989 Clean Air Study found that indoor plants like pothos help reduce certain harmful chemicals (VOCs) in controlled lab settings. Later studies confirmed these effects — but experts note that in real homes, you would need many plants to fully purify air. Still, the psychological benefit of cleaner-smelling air and visible greenery is significant.
1.2 Indoor Environment Boosters
Money plant helps balance indoor humidity, supports beneficial microbes, and even softens background noise. It creates a more comfortable and natural indoor micro‑environment.
1.3 Stress Reduction and Mood Improvement
Studies show indoor plants reduce anxiety, improve mood, and boost productivity. Many homeowners even report better sleep and calmness when money plant is placed near computers or sharp corners.
2. Why Money Plant Thrives in Urban Dhaka
2.1 Perfect for Dense Neighborhoods
In Dhaka’s crowded neighborhoods, narrow lanes and low ventilation make greenery rare. Money plant adds visible freshness and peace, even in homes with small windows or shaded balconies.
2.2 Suits Bangladesh’s Tropical Climate
With indirect light and moderate watering, money plants grow year-round in Bangladesh’s warm and humid weather.
2.3 Cultural and Feng Shui Value
Culturally, money plant symbolizes prosperity and harmony. In Feng Shui, it’s believed to calm negative energy, reduce arguments, and attract positivity.
