Households across the UK have been urged to remove five specific plants from their bedrooms, as they may be affecting health in several ways. While bringing a plant into your home is often a joyful experience, certain houseplants could negatively impact your sleep and overall well-being.

Bedroom experts from Bed Sava have warned that a number of plants carry that around which can impact your sleep. Certain houseplants, particularly those with strong floral or herbal scents, can unintentionally disrupt your sleep environment. Their potent aromas may stimulate brain activity, making it harder to wind down at night. For individuals with sensitive airways, these scents can also trigger irritation or allergic reactions, further affecting comfort and rest. In enclosed spaces like bedrooms, these smells tend to linger, compounding the issue.
