Starting 2012 off thinking about what to do to bring beauty and health into our lives! Start with some plants! Just added this Boston Fern to my bedroom....it is a start! Read below about benefits of doing the same~
Houseplants are our often-overlooked helpers in ridding the air of pollutants and toxins, counteracting outgassing and contributing to balanced internal humidity.
It is suggested that one plant should be allowed for approximately 10 square yards of floor space, assuming average ceiling heights of 8 to 9 feet. This means that you need two or three plants to contribute to good air quality in the average domestic living room of about 20 to 25 square yards. |
| {Our bedroom} |
Research has shown that these 10 plants are the most effective all-around in counteracting offgassed chemicals and contributing to balanced internal humidity.
- Areca palm
- Reed palm
- Dwarf date palm
- Boston fern
- Janet Craig dracaena
- English ivy
- Australian sword fern
- Peace Lily
- Rubber Plant
- Weeping Fig
Just a side note: Desperately needed dresser...settled on this metal dresser from Restoration Hardware (feel like I am always settling with my choices!). Lamp is a family antique. Just received the mirror from One Kings Lane, not happy with it! Looked better in picture. This may be last time I order online without seeing it first (actually my daughter needed a mirror in her room, so away it went and now looking for something else)!
Have a great day!
