Plants, Plants, and more Plants......

OK so I bantered yesterday about the snow coming back........well now its gone. I don't know what to think and neither does my sinus'.
Yes we had a blizzard but it melted hours later and produced a pretty nice day........although we are back to spring, I think its only necessary for me to bow out of the thought of revitalising my yard right now and focus more on inside my house, at least for a few more weeks.

So I came across this article in my FAVOURITE magazine EVER.....Whole Living. This magazine is so inexpensive and has some great information about bettering your life, home,health so on and so forth. So anyway this article I fell in love with was about Plants that you should consider having in your home for different purposes showing that plants not only provide freshness or colour to a room but can do amazing things for your home.

So to just touch on this, they listed that Ficus Alii, Bamboo Palm and Boston Fern are know to be air purifiers, Jasmine and the Miltonia Orchid are said to give natural soothing fragrances to your home, and last but not least Ficus Lyrata and Jade are the energy boosting plants.

I was so intrigued by this article that I am going to attempt to bring this power house of plants (yes every single one) into my home......whats the worst that can happen...?
 

Well I have 2 pictures of the painful house plant experiences so far.  I have a Christmas cactus my mother in law gave me which she would think looks horrible, and probably wonder if I take care of her son the way I take care of my plants lol. The truth is, my cat knocked over my Christmas cactus and I didn't find it till 3 days later when I returned home. The other plant is another cactus a gentleman gave me at a previous job.....also dying (neglect).

Well my goal this week is to round up all of these new plants, place them throughout my house, and hope that I can take care of them, all while trying to bring these dying plants to life.......if you have any suggestions of how to get these old ones going, PLEASE comment below....

  OK so wish me luck!!!

 PS pick up the new issue of Whole living.....its a great one!!!  .......and the first picture on this post is of the orchid my hubby gave our little girl for Valentines Day....the only plant succeeding....
