Attractive potted plants are wonderful for the green to add to the decor of a home. In fact, indoor plants inside were number 12 on the list of ways to give BGH home a quick facelift.

Did you know that also help clean the air we breathe? During the summer months, the windows are open more often to give a time at home “air”. In very cold weather, as extreme heat, the windows are closed to prevent heat or air conditioning from escaping. Live green when placed inside, removes carbon dioxide and absorbs a vast amount of other pollutants, replacing it with oxygen. All this is done through the natural process of photosynthesis. The most common contaminants and harmful indoor air are formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, benzene, trichlorethylene and carbon (which is exhaled). Even at low concentrations, these chemicals can cause a variety of health problems. In general, only one large plant per 100 square feet of space is enough to clean the air in an average home. Hooray for the “green” and clean air! Some of the easiest to care for indoor plants are philodendron, spider plant, pothos and gold. Some others that are also easy to maintain are the Boston fern, dracaena marginata, bamboo, palm and corn. With all plants, whether in the garden or at home, it is always best to check the toxicity of the plant before you buy and keep all plants out of the mouths of children and pets.
