Plant Parenting
(for plant murderers!)
Are you thinking about taking the plunge and becoming a plant parent?
Not only do indoor plants make for beautiful home décor, they may also
boost your health and well-being. Research suggests we spend more than
85 percent of our lives indoors and houseplants are an easy way to bring
nature into your home.
“One of the best things about caring for indoor plants is the beautiful
exchange that happens: Plants depend on us for care and in turn, they
take care of us by improving the air we breathe and making our space
more beautiful,” says Garvey. “I also think plants are hopeful. As they
grow and blossom, they can be an important reminder for us of things to
come.”
But what about if you just can't keep them alive?
