The Perks of Houseplants
Winter in Northeast Indiana means shorter days and colder weather, but that doesn't mean that your home has to be less vibrant. Adding houseplants to your living spaces is a simple way to bring a touch of spring indoors and boost your mood while enjoying the plants' practical benefits.
Houseplants are known to improve a home's air quality by filtering toxins and increasing humidity to make a home healthier. Popular varieties like snake plants, pothos, and peace lilies are low-maintenance and effective air purifiers. As an added benefit, being around plants has been shown to reduce stress and enhance overall well-being, which we all need during winter.
Beyond the health benefits, houseplants add stylish decor to any space. Whether you choose a large fiddle-leaf fig for dramatic flair or a few small plants to liven up a windowsill, they instantly make your home feel more inviting.
Local plant shops, like Honey Plant on North Wells Street, offer a variety of house plants as well as expert advice to help you get started.
