According to my current Pinterest feed, plants are in. Trending styles revolve around whites, grays, and leafy greens. It's the fresh, clean look we strive to accomplish in the spring that we are now embracing year round. Some of the most common household plants are now just a piece of the puzzle to fit the beautiful aesthetic we desire. Students, though, are sitting at a truly unfortunate disadvantage. Juggling school and work and a social life, sometimes remembering to take care of a plant is just as stressful as having a pet. Well, listed below are a few low

The Aloe plant is a true classic. This plant grows relatively fast so as long as it is placed in a pot suitable to its size and watered around once a week, it is an absolute crowd pleaser. This plant is also known for its ability to remove unwanted variants from the air we breathe and provides additional medicinal values as well. Aloe vera, the green, gooey gunk found inside each thick leaf, is used for a variety of things such as soothing burns, reducing itching, and speeding up metabolism if eaten.

According to Feng Shui, cactus plans should not be placed inside a bedroom but a rather in a bathroom. Cacti require extraordinarily little maintenance and are quite trendy in today's top styles. Although these plants look cute on a doorstep or window cill they have specific places where they should go within a home to extract the correct levels of energy from them. The bathroom is said to be a place of negative chi and a cactus there can neutralize that energy bringing your home back to perfect harmony.
