I love my houseplants so much. Most of my decor is in the form of a plant. I love how they purify the air! NASA researchers have done studies and research on the best and most efficient ways to clean the air in space stations, and they recommend 15-18 plants for an 1800 square foot home or apartment. Plants can absorb toxins through their leaves and serve as a natural way to filter the air in your home. (source) We are always looking for ways to make our home more toxin-free for us and mainly our kids. So if I am told to get more plants, sign me up! We also never burn candles either, to ...

Do you see some new growth?? And obviously ever water Wednesday I want to wear a plant shirt! Ha. Not even ... Read More

One of the most asked questions I have been getting lately is "Do you fertilize your houseplants?" So I thought I would write a ... Read More
My Complete Houseplant Guide- Why I LOVE Houseplants
Houseplants have become my favorite accessory to decorate my home with. I love how a houseplant breaths life into a space. A houseplant is something I think every room needs. And yes! You can keep them alive. Houseplants are so much easier to keep alive then you think. I believe many times we over think it and "kill them with love" because we overwater and let the roots sit in water. Or we don't come up with a watering schedule and forgot to water. It is important to check what each of your plant's need for water and sun before you bring them home and just place them where you think they ... Read More
