My House Plant Changed My Life

 

I have no doubt that introducing indoor plants to your home will improve your life. I also believe there is a houseplant that is just right for you and your home. In this book, there are plants that can survive neglect, plants that love pampering, plants that flower like clockwork every season, and plants that look amazing every day of the year—and each one has a unique ability to improve your life as well as its own individual personality that makes it special.

When we visit rooms that have no plants in them, they feel lifeless. A hotel room, a basement, a windowless office—with no greenery, they seem to suck the life out of us.

Then think of a garden, with its lawn, its trees, its flowers, and how restored it makes you feel when you’re surrounded by nature. Plants make us feel human and can have a significant impact on our physical and mental well-being.

 

I want you to feel a passion for bringing

nature into your home and to experience the

fun of nurturing and collecting houseplants.

Because it’s not just about caring for them;

it’s about appreciating the little things, like the

beauty of a fresh new leaf or when they burst

into flower, the amazement of your friends

and family at what you have achieved, and the

sheer enjoyment of the sensory experience

whenever you find yourself marveling at your

plants’ beauty. You’ll be amazed at all the

special benefits indoor plants can offer, and

very soon these wondrous living organisms

will become part of your family.
