How to care for a peace lily<\/h3>\n

Indoor plants can help to purify the air inside the home, collecting moisture which will prevent mould from growing.<\/p>\n

Some can also absorb harmful toxins, helping to keep the home nice and clean.<\/p>\n

Wendy Rea, an expert florist and manager at Direct2Florist, has shared the best plants to choose from this winter.<\/p>\n

Wendy explained: \u201cPeace lilies also remove toxins from the air and prevent a build-up of mould and mildew around the home. Their beautiful leaves make them a perfect choice to freshen up and brighten our indoor space in the darker, colder months.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace lilies prefer indirect sunlight, so keep them away from windows to keep them from drying out and make them last longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orchid<\/b><\/h3>\n

The florist continued: \u201cOrchids are a great addition to places we go to relax in the home, such as the bedroom or living room, as their benefits help relieve stress and boost relaxation, counter depression and anxiety levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also improve focus by improving the air quality, so are beneficial to introduce to a workspace. Orchids require a little more care than other plants and need to be watered regularly, once a week is ideal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey need to be placed in an environment with a stable temperature, so it\u2019s best to keep them away from windows and radiators.\u201d<\/p>\n
