About the Indoor Plants List

Did you know the air quality inside your home is worse than the air outside? In addition to carbon dioxide, there are toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene off-gassing into your home from the many fixtures and finishes inside it. What can you do?

Add plants! Indoor plants act like living filters, removing toxins from the air. In return for a little TLC, they provide better air quality, reduce stress, improve health and sleep, and give you something fresh and green to look at when it's snowy or stormy outside. Here are some of the hardy specimens Nicki has grown in her home. They require little more than occasional watering and proper lighting. (A quick Internet search will help you care for these plants in your own home.)
