Less Stress

The other day at work I noticed my new teammate had a few potted plants on his desk, two succulents and one cactus.  He told me that he added these plants to his work space because he had read that plants significantly reduce stress.  This perked my attention because I'm all about sprucing up my cubicle and not feeling stressed.  Once I got back to my desk I did a quick Google search and came across an interesting article.  Plants are shown to reduce stress, increase concentration, and improve mood.
