Greening Your Home
We all know that being outdoors in nature is one of the best things we can do for our general well-being. House plants offer many of the same benefits to indoor life and have been shown to create a calming environment in the home and boost creativity and focus in the workplace.
That touch of greenery may also contribute to cleaner indoor air via the release of oxygen through photosynthesis and absorbing some pollutants. There are even some plants that are particularly good at releasing oxygen at night. Consider house plants a partner with proper ventilation and air filtration systems, the things you look to No Worry Home for.
Whether you prefer easy care options like Snake Plants and Pothos or want to tap your inner horticulturist with orchids or other flowering beauties, there are house plants perfect for you.
Consider factors like lighting, space, and humidity levels in chosing your plants. Here’s a short list known to thrive in a variety of environments which makes them easy to care for. Self-watering systems ideal for many popular house plants, are also readily available.
- Snake Plant, also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, thrives in low light and can survive with minimal watering.
- Pothos, adaptable to a range of lighting conditions, has trailing stems that make it ideal for hanging baskets.
- Spider Plant. When happy it propagates little spider plants. A good beginner plant, it takes to almost any environment.
- Peace Lily, a bedroom favorite for its beauty and nighttime release of oxygen.
- Rubber Plant: another favorite for its broad, glossy leaves and fast growth. This is a standout in any home.
- Philodendron, 450 varieties! A tropical plant, it loves light that brings out leaf color. Needs a bit more care in watering.
- Succulents, a kin of the cactus, these lovely plants in many shapes and sizes thrive with less water. Aloe Vera gel helps heal burns and cuts, so keep some handy.
If you have pets, stick to those plants known to be pet-friendly: spider plant, Boston ferns, and bamboo palms. Avoid lilies, snake plant, and philodendron. Another option, place plants out of reach of pets or create physical barriers.
