With so much emphasis on the pollution we’re causing today we have to make sure we’re looking after our health as much as possible.

Most people don’t even think of things like getting plants in their homes as they might not know the benefits or you may have herd of some of the excuses below – One that we’ve heard is that you may not want to take care of it, or even at the fact that you might want to keep your home more minimal.

What I say to that is firstly there are quite a few options out there especially for indoor plants, what this means is it’s very easy to take care of – were talking minimal watering maybe once ever few days and taking it out in the sun maybe once a week or even just putting it in an area where you may attract some sunlight throughout the day.

In terms of keeping your home with less, sure I can agree with that but if anything most people may replace a plant with a piece of furniture that probably won’t get used often anyway. I personally feel it’d be more beneficial to get some fresh air through my home over another place to sit, but that’s just me! And another reason is color green actually stimulates creative all whilst making you feel calm and serene, why wouldn’t you want some color in your home.

We came up with a short list of a few options to ensure you’re getting some fresh air in your home with indoor plants. Not only are you letting nature do the same work of an air freshener for you but naturally plants already have a scent to it. What that means is if you get enough plants in your home you might just be able to throw away your air freshener for good. The list we have below will also help remove toxins so it acts as a purifier not to mention it’s pet and children friendly.
