Rediscover the plants that will make your house healthier and more beautiful
Houseplants may once have had a dusty, old-fashioned reputation, but they are very much back in style. Not only can they look modern and chic, but we’re also discovering the benefits of growing indoor plants. Greenery in our homes can make us feel calmer and increase our sense of wellbeing. Houseplants also help to purify the air by removing the toxins given off by furniture, cleaning products and electrical goods, which is especially useful at this time of year when we keep windows closed. Houseplants can remove up to 87 per cent of the toxins in a room in 24 hours.* You might think that houseplants are hard to keep alive and healthy, but if you choose the right ones for the right spots, and give them the growing conditions they like, they’re very easy to care for. Use this guide to find plants that will thrive in every room of your home, making a welcome addition to your life.
