Ready to add some green to your life? Here’s how you can use plants to elevate your self-care game with our plant recommendations:
BATHROOM PLANTS
1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria)
– Why You’ll Love It: The snake plant is like the superhero of the plant world—super easy to care for and excellent at filtering out air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene. It’s perfect for the often dim and humid conditions in bathrooms.
– Care Tips: It thrives in low to moderate light and doesn’t need much water—let the soil dry out between waterings. Just keep an eye out for overwatering, as the snake plant prefers to be on the dry side.
2. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata)
– Why You’ll Love It: The Boston fern adds a splash of lush greenery and is a champ at boosting humidity. This makes it ideal for keeping your skin and respiratory system happy in a humid bathroom environment.
– Care Tips: Place it in a bright, indirect light spot and keep the soil moist. A little misting every now and then can help keep those fronds looking fabulous.
BEDROOM PLANTS
1. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller)
– Why You’ll Love It: Aloe vera is not only great for soothing minor skin irritations but also for cleaning the air of pollutants. Plus, its gel-filled leaves are perfect for quick skin fixes.
– Care Tips: Give it bright, indirect light and water only when the soil is completely dry—every 3 weeks or so. Make sure the pot has good drainage to keep it happy and healthy.
2. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
– Why You’ll Love It: Peace lilies are like a breath of fresh air, literally. They remove toxins from the air and their lovely white blooms add a serene touch to your bedroom. They’re also super forgiving if you miss a watering or two.
– Care Tips: They prefer low to medium, indirect light and like to be kept moist. Water when the top of the soil feels dry and wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free.
