Plants for better concentration
For some, working from home is a great blessing, for others an almost impossible task. Because focusing on work while the overflowing laundry basket is staring at you and the fridge full of goodies keeps attracting your attention is not a good recipe for ticking a long to-do list. A simple plant could reduce the urge to stop working, as some houseplants improve your concentration, focus and productivity. And yes, it has been scientifically proven.

Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica)
The Ficus Elastica, better known as the rubber plant, fits into any interior. Vintage, classic or industrial, you can place the plant in your home without any worries.

As a result, the green friend greatly improves your concentration. The rubber plant is very easy to maintain, a little watering once a week is enough. However, placement is important: it thrives best in a bright spot, in indirect sunlight.
