This week, we are showing you some more super easy to grow houseplants. Houseplants are so beneficial to our winter well-being, especially in areas where it's too cold to be outside much in the winter months. They boost your mood, clean the air and make your inside world greener.
Studies have shown:
Rooms with plants have fewer pollutants like VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Plants in our homes increase room humidity by 10%.
Plants remove up to 90% of formaldehyde in a room.
Follow along this week to see some of the easiest houseplants to grow.
