There’s no denying house plants add a nice touch of nature to brighten up a home. The good news is you don’t need a “green thumb” to care for a wide range of plants, provided they get adequate light and are watered properly. In fact, overwatering is worse for plants than underwatering.
To avoid the problem, just put your finger in the plant’s soil. If it’s still moist, wait a day or two to water. Over time, you’ll get used to knowing when your plants will need a drink.
House Beautiful provides a helpful list of house plants that are easily cared for and can add to any décor. Here are just 10 of the 30 recommended:
- Money Tree
- String of Pearls
- Aloe Vera
- Philodendron Micans
- Bird’s Nest Fern
- Golden Pathos
- Echeveria
- Prayer Plant
- Rubber Tree
- Spider Plant
Other factors for keeping plants healthy are the time of year and how dry your house might get. So, pay attention to the amount of sunlight available and if the humidity inside gets non-existent.
Council of Seniors Works to Strengthen Social Security
Your retirement should be stress-free, and you should have time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Here at Council of Seniors, we’re fully committed to getting Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. The Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) has fallen behind inflation over a series of years, and seniors were shortchanged by $581. The passage of this bill will finally get seniors reimbursed.
Take time now to sign our petition. Let’s show Washington politicians how many Americans are supporting this bill.
