Even though gardening is often associated with cultivating fruit and vegetables, we mustn’t forget about all the houseplant varieties that are grown indoors.
Growing plants in your own house is a perfect opportunity to bring a piece of the outdoors into your home!
Indoor potted plants can decorate any corner of your house with their magnificent flowers and leaves, and at the same time purify your indoor air. If you have an empty workspace, you can put a plant there to create a very calming environment and help reduce the stress of everyday life.
Recently, lots of people have become plant lovers , and they have big plant collections they proudly share online! Not to brag, but a post of my orchids got almost 200,000 likes on Instagram! I was so proud!
