Why do I need to have plants?

We truly love plants. It all started as a way of making our gym look beautiful but with time we realized that plants are not just a pretty addition to our décor. They also provide numerous benefits to your health and well-being. Firstly, plants are known to purify the air by removing harmful toxins and pollutants. The leaves absorb the toxins and release fresh oxygen, making the air cleaner and healthier to breathe. This can be especially beneficial for those who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems.

Additionally, having plants in your home can reduce stress levels and improve your mood. Studies have shown that just being in the presence of plants can lower blood pressure and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. They also promote relaxation and can improve your overall sense of well-being. Lastly, plants are a great way to bring nature indoors, providing a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. They also can improve concentration and productivity, making them a perfect addition to your home office or workspace.

So, whether you have a green thumb or not, consider adding a few plants to your living space. Your body and mind will thank you for it!

The first and foremost step in plant care is choosing the right plant. Before you buy any plant, you should research the plant’s requirements, such as light, water, and humidity levels. Different plants have different needs, and it’s essential to choose a plant that is suitable for your living space. If you live in an area with low light levels, choose a plant that can thrive in low light conditions. Similarly, if you have a busy lifestyle, choose a low-maintenance plant that doesn’t require frequent watering or pruning.

Luckily for you, we are here to make plant parenthood easier. Meet our top 4 beginner-friendly plants.

Pothos, also known as devil’s ivy, is a popular houseplant that’s loved for its beautiful, trailing vines. it’s our absolute favorite and pretty much indestructible. It’s a great option for beginners because it’s low maintenance and can tolerate a wide range of lighting conditions. It’s also a forgiving plant when overwatered. Pothos also helps purify the air by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene.

To care for a pothos, plant it in well-draining soil and water it when the top inch of soil is dry. We always recommend underwatering over overwatering. So if you’re not sure, the pant will tell you. The leaves will get droopy but don’t panic, this will fix itself the moment you water it.

The ZZ plant is a great option for beginners because it’s virtually indestructible. It can tolerate low light and infrequent watering, making it a great option for those who are new to plant care. The ZZ plant is also great for purifying the air by removing toxins such as xylene and toluene. To care for a ZZ plant, plant it in well-draining soil and water it only when the top inch of soil is dry.

The spider plant is another great option for beginners. It’s easy to care for and can tolerate a wide range of lighting conditions. Spider plants are also great for purifying the air by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and xylene.

To care for a spider plant, plant it in well-draining soil and water it when the top inch of soil is dry. Spider plants can also be propagated by taking stem cuttings and rooting them in water.

Cacti are very low-maintenance plants, which makes them perfect for those who are just starting with gardening. They require minimal watering, only need occasional fertilizing, and can thrive in a wide range of temperatures and light conditions. Additionally, cacti come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, which makes them a fun and interesting addition to any home or garden. From tall, spiky cacti to small, round ones, there is a cactus for every style and preference.

We recommend watering them only when the soil is dry. Also, you’ll have a healthier cactus when placed in a bright corner with direct/indirect sunlight.
