Power of Plants.

I was inspired by Mich to place some plants inside the house so I did a little reading about the benefits of having them in the house.

Plants can positively help your health and energy levels. And research has shown that certain species of plant can actually remove pollutants from the air. And this is according to the book The Five-Minute Healer. Not only do the plants brighten the place, it can likewise enhance your life.

The book lists the following as superplants.
~ Golden pothos {Epipremnum aureum}
~ Spider plant {Chlorophytum comosum ‘Vittatum’}
~ Heartleaf philodendron {Philodendron scandens}
~ Monstrosus cactus {Cereus peruvianus}
~ Mother-in-law’s tounge {Sanseveria trifasciata}
~ Peace lily {Spathiphyllum wallisii}
~ Goosefoot plant {Syngonium podophyllum}

Needless to say, we brought some plants inside.

These are placed on top of the piano and if I’m not mistaken these are called the mother-in-law’s tounge.

These are placed in the kitchen. I bought two more plants to join these two little ones but we haven’t transferred them in vases yet.

We have three of these placed in the corners.

And this one is placed outside, by the door.
