Earth Day was on April 22, but it is still Earth week from April 19-24. What better way to spend it (even in quarantine) than taking care of yourself and some plants? Taking care of a plant, or a few, can keep you occupied and calm your nerves during quarantine. It gives you the responsibility of taking care of a living thing that will also benefit you. Many plants can clean the air in your house. Another bonus is the color they bring into a room. The following chart shows some plants that are easy to take care of, and clean the air in an inside room the best:
Barberton Daisy |
English Ivy |
Snake Plant or Mother-In-Law’s Tongue |
Chrysanthemum |
Spider Plant |
Aloe Vera |
Broad Lady Palm |
Red-Edged Dracaena or Dragon Tree |
