Indoor plants

Indoor plants are a magic elixir, poised to make our lives better, as long as we remember to water them (or dust them if they’re good fakes).  Research shows that being around plants boost our mental wellbeing, which means we’re better at knowledge-type work; also, around plants we’re less likely to feel stressed.  Rooms with plants seem more comfortable places to be.  We don’t need lots of nearby plants to reap their benefits, even one can make a big difference in our life.
