Every woman has an idea what her own "paradise" would look like. And while it should be our goal to create such an area in our own home, sometimes it's just a very small spot to call our own. But we can bring elements of our paradise into other parts of our homes. Houseplants are a good way to incorporate a little bit of paradise! Especially if you invite blooming plants into your home.
Plants are not only aesthetically pleasing, they're also good for cleaning the air. In my own home, I have a snake plant (sansevieria); its about 10 years old now. It's amazing it's still alive! It's one of those kinds of plants that doesn't take a lot of care, which makes it perfect for me and this dry environment I live in. I also grow a couple of succulents, Haworthia Zebra to be specific. They're planted in two vases that my son, Brian, created a few years ago.
But whether you're the kind who grows delicate little African Violets or if you plant bulbs and force them to bloom, working with plants can help relieve stress. Maybe you are the type who has just one or two select plants, or the one who has a "jungle" indoors, it adds just the right touch of "paradise" to wherever your plants are!
Here's my own piece of paradise:
