Plant Care: The Right Plants for You

In choosing the right plants for you, you have to consider several things, such as plant care, the right plants for you, based on shady or sunny planting spaces, the presence of irritants and poisons in plants, and their proximity to pets or small children. There is no doubt that houseplants brighten up your home or office, and caring for them can be a great hobby, not just during the winter, but all year long.

The benefits of indoor gardening are numerous. Many indoor plants actually clean air the air in our homes, creating a much more healthy environment, by taking in the carbon dioxide you exhale, and release oxygen for you to breathe in, so we not only provide plant care, our plants care for us as well. House plants not only convert carbon dioxide to oxygen but also trap and absorb many pollutants. Luckily, some of the best house plants for cleaning our air are also very easy to grow.

You can get a selection of indoor seed and bulbs that grow well with minimum plant care, in the shady conditions of your house this winter. Some good choices are:

• The Amaryllis
• Bamboo
• Begonia
• Avocado
• Bonsai Plants


One thing you must do, if you have children or pets, is to research the plants you choose to have in your house, and determine the plant care needed as well as the safety of having certain plants around small children or pets. Many of the most popular house plants come from tropical climates where the highest percentages of poisonous plants do reside. Even plants known to be "good for you" can also be poisonous. The common aloe plant can cause severe intestinal disorders if the outer leaf is eaten. I caution you to treat all plants as if they are harmful. It is better to be safe, when it comes to your children.
