Currently, I live in a charming 200 some year old house that was converted into apartments. The walls are about a foot thick, and needless to say, it lacks good air circulation. Although the place oozes charm, I find that the lack of air quality really took away from the experience of living in such a great place.
Recently, due to the cold weather forging forward, I brought my plants in from my cozy front porch, and something changed…I could breath better! My plants, quite literally, breathed life back into my place. Because plants give off oxygen, they improve the air quality in your home. All day we are subject to pollutants in the air we breath, and it’s quite refreshing to come home and take a deep breath of clean, fresh air instead.
Right now, many home stores (Lowe’s, Home Depot), greenhouses, and grocery stores are selling the last of their summer plants for far less than normal. You could pick up a palm or ficus tree for a fraction of the cost, and they will flourish inside your home year round. Also, your home will gain instant decor-ability with plants, as they look beautiful and are greener for your lungs!
