So you’ve heard all the good things about the benefits of houseplants — increased oxygen and humidity levels, improved air quality, stress reduction, improved aesthetics — and you think you’d like to finally ditch your dusty silk plants and give their real counterparts a try, writes Helaine R. Williams in HomeStyle.
Well, yeah, but then those same doubts that kept you from investing in houseplants the last time come flooding your mind again: Remember that nice plant you took home after the last family funeral … and how it needed its own funeral a week or so later?
