Celebrate National Houseplant Appreciation Day by sprucing up your home with some green friends - they'll add life and color to any space!
It's time to show some love for your houseplants on National Houseplant Appreciation Day on January 10! This day has been celebrated since the early 2000s and aims to recognize the beauty and benefits of both indoor plants and those that grow outdoors. Not only do houseplants add a bit of color, but they can also help purify the air, reduce stress levels, increase humidity levels in dry environments (like your home), as well as lower carbon dioxide levels.
Plan out what plants you want to feature in your window garden, add some soil and potting mix, and get to planting. Make sure to pick the right plants that will thrive in your environment.
Take a trip to your local nursery and pick out a new houseplant. Not sure which one to choose? Ask the experts at the nursery for advice on what kind of plant would be best for your home.
Find some old terracotta planters or ceramic pots in all shapes and sizes, and then decorate them however you like. Try using paint, markers, or even wrapping paper for an extra special touch.
Get together with friends and family who love houseplants as much as you do and organize a plant swap. Everyone can bring their own plants and swap with each other so everyone can have new plants for their collection.
Surprise friends and family by making them a unique gift made with plants. Think about creating wreaths or plant arrangements – they make great gifts for any occasion.
Investing in houseplants is a great way to keep your indoor air healthy and clean. Studies have shown that certain plants can help reduce toxins and pollutants in your home, making them an ideal addition for those suffering from respiratory issues or allergies.
Houseplants don't require too much effort in terms of upkeep or maintenance. Most require only basic watering every few days, but they will reward you with beautiful foliage and a pop of color indoors!
Adding greenery to a room instantly brightens it up and provides a calming ambience. Not only do houseplants look great, but they also act as natural air filters AND improve your mental health by reducing stress and anxiety levels! With so many benefits, it's no wonder why we love National Houseplant Appreciation Day.
