Having fresh cut flowers around the home is a luxury not everyone can afford to do all the time.

Thankfully, there’s an affordable solution popping up in homes: Eucalyptus.

Not only is a bunch of eucalyptus cheap, it will last longer than your average flowers.

Additionally, a behavioural research study found people had less worry and anxiety when fresh cut plants and flowers were placed around the home.

After a few days, participants said they felt "less negative". Other benefits included feeling more compassionate towards others, as well as extra energy, happiness, and enthusiasm for work.
