National Houseplant Appreciation Day!

Sunday, January 10th is National Houseplant Appreciation Day. It's a good time to bring more of nature into your home and that of others in your life. The day was created to bring more recognition to the benefits that green plants, indoor plants, and blooming plants can offer you, including cleaner air and more oxygen. Since it's also the start of a new year, it's a good way to start focusing on better health and creating a home (and even work from home) space that includes more of the outdoors. So many of us are spending more time inside than ever before, so these plants can offer a calming and healthful effect during such challenging times. The other good things to keep in mind about houseplants is that most of them are very easy to take care of and last a long time with very little maintenance. In fact, all you may need to do is put them in indirect or direct sun and check if they need water once in a while. Our San Diego flower shops also provide an extensive collection of green plants. We are always looking at ways to add more plant varieties to our in-store and website shopping options.

Caring For Your Plants on Houseplant Appreciation Day and Every Day After That

You can think about putting some in hanging baskets or on shelves in front of certain windows that attract the sunlight. Also important in the winter as they are all year round are temperature and humidity levels for your houseplants. Don't put your houseplants near a drafty window or any type of heating vent.
