As the costs of traditional air conditioning rise alongside energy bills, many in the UK are searching for eco-friendly cooling solutions. Experts, including Craig Morley from Budget Seeds, advocate for using houseplants as a natural cooling method through a process known as transpiration. This process allows plants to release moisture which cools the surrounding air. Supported by NASA research, the technique proves effective especially when several plants are grouped together. Ensuring that plants are healthy and well-watered maximizes their cooling benefits, presenting a cost-effective alternative to mechanical cooling systems.
Craig Morley, gardening expert at Budget Seeds, emphasizes that houseplants can do more than brighten up a room - they can help regulate indoor temperatures too.
Research from NASA supports the natural cooling effects of plants, suggesting that the transpiration process not only benefits the plants but can also lower room temperatures.
