For starters, having plants around really brings a space to life
doesnt it?
Gardening is also a subtle form of physical activity that can burn
as many calories as going for a walk. This activity boost can aid
with weightloss, build muscle and reduce your risk for chronic
illnesses.
Beyond physical health, gardening has some serious
mental and emotional health benefits as well. Gardening and spending
time in nature can help lower stress and bring a general sense on
wellbeing.
Looking after a plant can seem like a daunting responsibility if
you're new to plants. Not only that, starting an urban garden can be
overwhelming when there's so many amazing plants to choose from.
Let me take the guesswork out for you. Below are some of the most
highly recommended and popular beginner plants for both the indoor
and outdoor gardeners.
Monstera Deliciosa
Fruit salad plant
Spathiphyllum
Peace lily
Zanzibar Gem
ZZ plant
Ficus Elastica
Rubber tree
Epipremnum
Devils ivy
The Strangler fig, which covers a number of
species of tropical fig. (genus Ficus,family
Moraceae) is native to southern Florida and named for
their pattern of growth upon host trees,
Thats right!
This fig literally strangles the life out of the unfortunate host
tree it decides to grow upon. Not exactly a welcome guest.
If you made it this far, Thank you!
I've put a lot of work into this project and I'm so excited to
be sharing it with you today!
I hope you enjoyed it and I
would love to hear any feedback! See you in the next challenge!
