Bring a Little Green Indoors
Green House Plants are more than just decor. Recent research studies have proven that you live happier and healthier with houseplants in your home.
Why is our desire to bring nature indoors so compelling? Some of the most popular reasons:
- Clean Air: houseplants act as filters, removing pollutants and harmful particles from the air in your home or office. Certain plants can reduce pollutants up to 87% in just 24 hours.
- Nurturing: We have a basic instinct to care for other living things. Plants used indoors convey the message that we care. It is fulfilling to see our natural world healthy and growing in our indoor spaces
Healthy: The life cycle of plants causes them to absorb CO2 and many other pollutants from the air and release life giving oxygen. Spirits are lifted by the visual appeal and by the fragrance provided by some that flower. Humidity is increased making breathing easier.
- Beauty: Our natural surroundings have a beauty that is calming, creating a secure feeling. The graceful appearance of plants adds beauty and charm. Flowering plants provide added touches of color.
- Alive: Living, growing, green plants convey the message that this area is alive and cared for.
Orchids are everywhere. Pick up any home decorator magazine or watch
TV, and you’re bound to see an orchid gracing any well-dressed room.
Exotic and elegant, colorful and unique, a single flower makes a bold
statement.
Contrary to popular belief, Orchid plants are relatively easy to grow.
Proper watering is the key to success. Too much water is as
detrimental as not enough. Overwatering is the number cause of death of
orchids in the home.
Unlike many houseplants that like an even, consistent moisture, most
Orchids thrive with a bit of neglect. Most need to dry out between
waterings, which is about once a week. This varies depending on the
season and stage of growth. Generally, water the plant when the pot
feels light.
