Bring the Outdoors In With Common Tall House Plants

For many of us the seasons are changing, so it’s time to bring the outdoors in. Sure, artificial trees—whether of the pine variety or not—can give off a certain kind of cheerful vibe, but nothing beats having the real thing.

After all, we know that kids who spend more time in nature become happier adults, so why not enjoy some plant life all year with common tall house plants you can care for inside of your home?

It’s true, being in touch with nature and plant life can be mood boosting because of our innate need to be connected to other living things.

Plants also help improve indoor air quality. Not to mention, that studies have shown even brief exposure to plant life, like touching real foliage, can elicit an unconscious calming effect.
