Today, indoor plants have claimed the title of being a productivity hack by supporting our well being. They’re taking over our living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms that knocks out the balance between empty space and decor. And honestly, it’s we love it. They’re as much a wellness companion as they are a stunning feature inside a home.
