The power of nature

We’re designed to thrive in contact with nature—and that’s why seeing greenery makes us feel so good. That’s the science behind it: biophilia.

Biophilia benefits

Why is nature so beneficial?

Calms the mind

Seeing greenery reduces activity in the prefrontal cortex, linked to stress, and activates regions associated with calm, pleasure, and emotional well-being.

Belonging

We’re naturally drawn to life and greenery. This spontaneous attraction, known as biophilia teaches us makes us feel “at home” when surrounded by green.

Sensory balance

Natural environments offer balanced visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli , unlike often over-stimulating or monotonous artificial spaces. Our senses find peace and equilibrium.

FAQs

Do Aura’s breathing green walls attract insects?

The system includes fans, uses hydroponic irrigation, and features non-flowering plants, all of which significantly reduce the risk of attracting insects.

Are the plants in Aura breathing green walls real?

 Yes, the plants are 100% real. Their presence is essential—not only for air purification but also for delivering the full benefits of biophilia.

What if I don’t have a green thumb? Will it be hard to maintain?

Not at all. Aura breathing green walls are extremely low-maintenance thanks to their automated irrigation and ventilation systems. The only routine tasks required are: refilling the water tank monthly (or as needed) and pruning regularly to keep the plants tidy

Aura also offers an optional monthly maintenance service that includes:

  • System check
  • Nutrient delivery to plants
  • Module replacement
  • Plant pruning
  • Water tank refill

How big do the plants grow?

Given the limited space available for root expansion, the plants used remain relatively compact in size. However, regular pruning is recommended to control growth and maintain a neat, well-groomed appearance.
