"You can't buy happiness, but you can buy succulents!

And that is pretty much the same thing."

Our business name came from the word psychology and succulents — Psychcculents.

In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy,
and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from
the Latin word sucus, meaning 'juice', or 'sap'.

Succulents have been considered a trend recently and this moved us to make these little plants a source
of income. Since sanitizing and being healthy while staying at home became the primary solution in the
COVID 19, indoor plants such as succulents and cactuses contribute to the healing process. According to
some news, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus is an airborne
transmission and study shows that succulents and cactuses just like other plants release water. It can
enhance the humidity of our house. Increased moisture, in turn, can improve common health
complaints including a sore throat, common colds, dry cough and dry, itchy skin. Not only succulents
help in making our homes humidified but it also purifies the air we breathe. The article “Plants Clean Air
and Water for Indoor Environments” describes NASA research using plants in a Bio Home. This research
suggests that succulents can remove many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. Plants emit
water vapor, and that in turn generates a pumping action that pulls contaminated air down to the roots
of the plant. The succulent converts these contaminates to plant food, thereby purifying the air of your
home. Unlike most plants, succulents do not release carbon dioxide at night. Instead, they continue to
produce oxygen. This continuous burst of oxygen freshens the air in your house and improves your
breathing – assuming, of course, you aren’t allergic to the plants. It’s a good idea to position plants in
rooms where you feel you need an extra breath of fresh air, such as the bathrooms or even your
kitchen.

Succulents don’t only help us in making the air we breathe clean it can also be helpful in our
psychological health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 11 percent of
American children have ADHD. Many adults and children also have less severe issues with attention. But
as Richard Louv describes in his 2005 book Last Child in the Woods, which introduced the concept
of Nature Deficit Disorder, regular exposure to nature – even in the form of houseplants – can help
children to focus better. Psychology research conducted by the University of Michigan reveals many
cognitive benefits to interacting with nature, whether that means walking in a park, growing plants in
your house, or even just looking at photographs of flora. In fact, memory retention was shown to
improve as much as twenty percent after subjects spent an hour in nature. Improved memory retention
leads to enhanced work and school performance, so it’s a great idea to place succulents in your study or
library, your home office, or in any room where your children typically do their homework.

Though we may look at these little plants as cute, amusing and attractive, it actually possesses valuable
contributions to prevent people from having the infectious disease.
