Healthy Houseplants

Houseplants can help improve indoor air quality, as well as increase oxygen levels and humidity. They can help improve concentration and creativity (so add them to your office or workspace). They encourage healing, boost your mood, and lower stress. Plus, successfully growing plants lets you feel a sense of accomplishment which can help boost self-esteem.
