houseplants: what's not to love

Houseplants do more than just add to our decor, they can also improve your health. The EPA ranks indoor air pollutants as one of the top five health threats-not to mention we spend up to 90% of our lives indoors. NASA research proves houseplants can remove up to 87% of indoor pollutants. Some great options to improve your own environment are:
peace lilies
palms
ferns
schefflera
anthuriums
zamiaculca (zz plant)
philodendrons
dieffenbachia
Houseplants are tropicals so be sure to address light and humidity needs.
