Houseplants can change your life: it really is rocket science! Everyday consumer products pollute our homes and workspaces by releasing harmful substances into the air. Drawing on groundbreaking research by NASA, this book reveals the houseplants most effective at purifying the air of pollutant gases, particulates, and volatile compounds. Further scientific studies show that being surrounded by plants and caring for them helps improve mental well-being, reduce stress, and encourage a positive, productive frame of mind to alleviate fatigue and lower blood pressure. This book selects the 50 most life-enhancing houseplants and profiles each plant to identify the specific toxins (and their ill effects) that the plant may be able to target, and how the color, scent, habit, and care needs of the plant can improve your mental well-being. Specific care advice describes how to keep each plant thriving and highlights especially mindful ways to nurture and increase your green guests: by misting, wiping, feeding, pinching, pruning, and propagating. An introductory chapter explains the hard science behind the healing benefits of plants and demonstrates with clear, visual steps the general care tasks you need to master to keep your houseplants thriving. And creative design features show where to position plants, numbers needed for them to be effective, and how to arrange them to maximize the health benefits. With a humble collection of houseplants, you can combat the pollution and stresses of modern life through the power of nature in the comfort of your own home. | My Houseplant Changed My Life by David Domoney, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
