Houseplants brighten up a home

June 22, 2012 by Tricia

As most of my regular readers know I have a green thumb. I also have an injured thumb right now but that’s besides the point. It’s green and it’s always been green. I enjoy having plants inside my house and outdoors too.


I don’t take many pictures of my houseplants, well except for my Amaryllis, Orchids and Christmas Cactus when they are blooming, but I also have several green leafy plants throughout my house. We have long cold winters here in Canada and looking at bright lovely green plants in the winter definitely elevate my mood and make the wait for spring all that much easier. Plants also help to add oxygen to the air and reduce toxins.

Do you have a few houseplants in your home? What are you favorite houseplants?

    Good points, Tricia, houseplants can make a home warm and inviting. Some of our favorites are succulents, baby cacti like the “split rock” cactus, are interesting, and easy to care for.

    Plants! I love plants! One of my favorites is ficus because it’s easy to take care of, its adaptability is superb, and I love its dark green color.

    Of course I have houseplants…orchids in every room, they are lovely and refreshing for my home. Plants make you feel a different person

    Great info! As a keen gardener I love flowers & plants – and happily bring in my favorites in pots indoors during the winter. Going to expand the indoors now – no room in garden lol.

    Thanks

    Living in the UK’s awful climate, my house plants flourish better than my garden plants! I think they are a great way to brighten up a room and each plant brings its own ‘personality’ to your home.
