So how can you make your client\u2019s space greener?\n\nNothing makes a space come alive than actual living plants! Not only will they give the benefit of fresh air (never underestimate the benefits of extra oxygen in the home), but they\u2019ll also give off vibrant pops of color without breaking the bank.\n\nThe positive effect that plants have in a home is well documented and studied. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/this-graphic-shows-the-best-air-cleaning-plants-accord-1705307836\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here\u2019s an infographic<\/a> based on NASA\u2019s study of the best plants for improving your home\u2019s air quality! But there\u2019s more that goes into greening up a space besides just buying any old plant and putting it on the table\u2014there\u2019s a science to it!\n\nKeep reading for our green guide to using plants in your home d\u00e9cor![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Succulent Centerpieces:<\/h3>\nSucculents are <em>miracle<\/em> plants. They\u2019re all the fun without any (okay there\u2019s actually some) responsibility. Contrary to popular belief, succulents aren\u2019t all dulled and grey\/green toned. The succulent family is<em> huge<\/em>, so there\u2019s something for everyone. Why not get a bunch of different succulents and put them into a shallow container (terrariums, troughs, or jars are great) to have a mini garden as a centerpiece.\n\nIf you are potting many of them together into one display, make sure that you choose similar plants that require the same amount of sunlight and water. That way your clients won\u2019t be overwatering some plants and starving the others!\n\nOur favorites are the Jade Plant, the Christmas Cactus, and the Snake Plant.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9161&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;200&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Green walls<\/h3>\nGreen plant walls are an incredibly trendy additional to the home. The plants on the wall can help clean the air, humidify, and provide extra oxygen to the environment. The more leaves on the wall, the more carbon dioxide and other toxins are being absorbed, and the more oxygen is released! These walls are also great for insulating the building, thereby reducing heating costs for the homeowners.\n\nThese beautiful walls of living plants can be custom designed for the available light in a space and installed pre-grown or as starter plants that you can cultivate for yourself. If you have a green thumb, you may want to look into growing your own plant wall\u2014be warned though, they can become quite expensive if you install irrigation systems for the wall.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Air plants (Tillandsias)<\/h3>\nThis type of plant rivals the succulent and cactus when it comes to the amount of attention it needs from homeowners. It doesn\u2019t need constant watering, but the real confusion sets in when you realize that this plant doesn\u2019t grow in soil!\u00a0 Air plants exude luxury since you can grow them in soil-less glass orb containers. These plants grow best in indirect sunlight. If your clients have a bathroom with bright but filtered sunlight, this is a great place to put your air plants!\n\nThe natural humidity in the bathroom benefits tillandsia plants since they use their leaves to absorb moisture. Don\u2019t be fooled, though! Your clients still need to water their plants by completely submerging them in water once a week. Just make sure the plants are placed back in their containers with their roots in the water, as they won\u2019t survive this way.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9160&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;200&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Herb Garden<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s something to be said about being able to pluck a leaf off your basil plant and just toss it directly into your spaghetti dinner. The kitchen is one space where decorative items must also be functional! You have to think about saving counter space, after all.\n\nAn herb garden will not only liven up their kitchen space, but it also provides aromatic and flavorful herbs that are excellent for health and wellness. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that you have to prune them early on &#8211; even if you don\u2019t intend on eating them or if the flavors haven\u2019t developed fully. In order to help them flourish, you have to snip off stems right above the node, but keep the larger leaves on the bottom in tact to build a strong base for your plants!\n\nSave some space by planting them into potters and mounting them on the wall. \u00a0Our favorites are mint, basil, chives, and parsley![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Statement Plants<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s relatively easy to find space for smaller plants around the house, but larger plants often make a huge statement and can even be a focal point in a particular room. Because they do draw-in so much attention, it can be tricky to find space for them without having their long, leafy greens be overbearing.\n\nWhy not try a money tree? These trees don\u2019t require direct sunlight and can even tolerate lower indirect light. They don\u2019t need too much watering, absorb water from atmosphere, and have braided trunks that really make this tree more ornate and larger-than-life. You can also opt for palm trees (date, fan, bamboo) or a monster deliciosa to introduce a lush, tropical vibe and bring paradise to your client\u2019s home![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9159&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;200&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Flowering Plants<\/h3>\nLast but not least, we have flowering plants! Most times when people decorate with live flowers, they are purchasing them as bouquets from a florist\u2014but it\u2019s completely possible to have year-round flowering plants indoors!\n\nFlowering plants usually require the most amount of attention, since we all tend to picture orchids and tulips when we think, \u201cflower\u201d; however, various types of cacti also offer beautiful flowers that add color to the home without all the work. Desert cacti don\u2019t need too much water, but do need loads of sunlight. They are easy plants to cultivate if your clients are busybodies but still want a green presence in their home.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;none&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]If your clients are ready to take the plunge and invest in the typical flowering plants, a rewarding variety would be the African Violet.
