Spring cleaning and a health home take on a new meaning this year. With everyone getting time at home it’s a great time for decluttering, deep cleaning, changing your linens and adding new life to your home. You’d be surprised about how some ordinary plants can change the overall appearance, air quality and ambience of your home…..
Kill two birds with one stone! Plants don’t just brighten the appearance of your home, they can also provide you with many health benefits.
Split Leaf Philodendron
This plant purifies the air and removes formaldehyde. Try placing it in newly renovated home or if you have recently painting, installed new floors, etc. to help clear the air.
Snake Plant
The snake plant purifies air and removes nitrogen oxide produced by fuel-burning appliances. We recommend placing it in kitchens or rooms with wood stoves or fireplaces. Plus it’s the classic choice for mid century modern homes!
Peace Lily
This plant removes mold from air. Place it in bathrooms or damp areas of the home like a mud room.
Aloe Vera
A plant that has many healing benefits, including its ability to clean air. The gel inside an aloe plant can help heal cuts and is also very effective at soothing burns, including sunburn. Keep one on hand in case of emergency. Nature knows best how to heal our bodies and souls. Caring for plants can also bring you so much joy and helps you keep a positive outlook.
Don’t forget to place your plants in an area with the right amount of light. If you aren’t good at watering often, succulents and cactus don’t need much and also help to clean the air.
Enjoy this time rejuvenating your sanctuary. Home is truly where the heart is. Take care of it and you.
