Reply:I think having greenery in the house makes it seem cooler, but I'm not sure there's an actual difference in temperature -- unless, of course, you have them in front of a window and they block some of the sunlight from getting in. Some houseplants (such as spider plants) can filter impurities from the air, and they help keep the air humidified.
