We've established that bringing plants into your home improves the quality of your life. It doesn’t hurt in the interior style stakes either and homeowners are embracing the growing indoor plant trend with abandon -  with everything from the fiddle leaf fig to tiny succulents.

Working with researchers from RMIT University and the University of Melbourne, the creators of Plant Life Balance app have tapped into the two biggest benefits of having plants in our home - air quality and wellbeing.
