If you've been to my office before, you've likely seen that I LOVE plants. My office is full of them. Walker and I spend a lot of time here so it only makes sense to make our office as joyous as possible!

You probably already know that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen (which is FANTASTIC for the health of our body) but what you might not know is that plants also:

1. Absorb toxins

2. Filter microbes

3. Increase humidity

4. Plants are medicine!

5. Improve your workspace

Plants are truly wonderful! Learn all about these health benefits in my video below:

If you are wondering which indoor plants do the most work cleaning your air, according to research by vitamin G too !

Have a joyous day and happy planting!

I think on your list of plants the third one should say snake plants, not snack plants... :)
