Design Guide: Plants for Your Home

Adding plants to your interior design not only looks beautiful but it actually has an array wellness benefits as well. Studies have shown that indoor plants:

• Boost mood, productivity, focus, and creativity

Pothos is the perfect plant for anyone with a busy schedule or less than ideal plant conditions. This vining plant can withstand long periods of neglect and does not need much light to grow.

ZZ Plant

Also known at The Fortune Tree, the ZZ plant makes a great housewarming gift for the plant lover in your life. They are extremely low maintenance, dry-tolerant, and thrive in a low-light environment.
