Plants @ Work
Look around where you are right now-Do you see a plant?
Well, then you're in healthy company!
If not, then get a plant from the following list:
- Peace lily (Spathiphyllum sp.)
- Areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)
- Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa)
- Ficus alii (Ficus macleilandii)
- Golden pothos (Epipremnun aureum)
NASA research conducted by Dr. Bill Wolverton on the benefits of indoor plants to alleviate dangerous air pollutants like formaldehyde has conclusively proved that Plants @ Work are a good idea-Feel better in the bargain!
I'm Avi, by the way and work now as an apprentice Gardener in Jerusalem.

Similarly, additional research has found that plants in the workplace can help increase productivity. The comments to that FC Now entry from last fall include pointers to additional research as well. Flower power!
