Wellness Wisdom: Plant Power

Plants have the power to remove air toxins and reduce stress levels, who knew!?

Well, extensive research by NASA has revealed that houseplants can remove up to 87% of air toxins in 24 hours. Studies have also proven that indoor plants improve concentration and productivity, reduce stress levels and boost your mood. I bet you are wondering where to start, so see below!

Succulents

While some succulents may vary, you can water them once a week and put them where they can get the most sunlight, like a windowsill.

Ivy

They do well with communicating to you that they need watering because their leaves will look limp and soft. Beware of devil's ivy if you have a cat or a dog because they are toxic to them. 

You can visit Walmart or a plant nursery to secure one of these plants and many more! We encourage you to do further research on whatever plant you get to ensure that they are getting everything they need.
