Caring For Your Plants on Houseplant Appreciation Day and Every Day After That
Today, January 10th, is Houseplant Appreciation Day. This special day was created to generate awareness and appreciation for one of nature's beautiful and beneficial gifts. If you have houseplants now or are thinking of getting some, this is an opportune time to learn about how to take care of them to ensure they last for years to come.

You can think about putting some in hanging baskets or on shelves in front of certain windows that attract the sunlight. Also important in the winter as they are all year round are temperature and humidity levels for your houseplants. Don't put your houseplants near a drafty window or any type of heating vent. This can cause your plants [...]
