Go Green This Valentine's Day: 3 Benefits of Giving a Living Plant to Your Loved Ones (Kids, Too!) Holidays

This Valentine's Day, give your loved one a living plant instead of cut flowers. Here are a few benefits:

  • Adding plants to a room is good for your health. They increase the oxygen level and purify the air around you by reducing toxin levels.
  • Plants reduce your carbon footprint by literally removing carbon dioxide from the environment.
  • Plants are a great way to teach young children about responsibility. Kids can participate in watering and caring for the plants.

Why not include a houseplant care book and houseplant fertilizer with your plant of choice? And if your loved one just doesn't have a green thumb, consider an easy-to-grow air plant.

What's your favorite houseplant? Tell us below.

I love plants! But I never can keep them
Alive! Always over or underwater them. But we always have them in the house.

My favorite houseplant right now is the ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia). I have two, and put one outside on the back porch during the summer. They grow so well and can take neglect if you forget to water them for a while. I love plants in the house, and have quite a few. I'm fine with anyone giving me a houseplant for Valentine's Day! :-) Ali Mathis
