With glossy, deep green leaves, it adds a touch of elegance to your space. It’s a low-key way to bring a bit of nature indoors.

Like many indoor plants, the ZZ plant helps improve air quality by absorbing common toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, and converting them into harmless substances.

It’s a true low-light lover, it thrives in dimly lit corners, needing water only occasionally when the soil dries out completely.

This is a superstar for busy people or forgetful plant parents. It thrives on neglect, tolerating low light and infrequent watering.

You only need to water it occasionally when the soil dries out completely.

While slow growth might not seem like a benefit at first, for some it can be a plus. The ZZ plant won’t quickly outgrow its pot, so you won’t have to repot it frequently.

The ZZ plant is a low-fuss option that offers a combination of air purification, style, and resilience, making it a great choice for a variety of indoor spaces.

Make Your Outdoor Space

Landscaping

Plan before you plant! Sketch your dream yard, considering sun exposure and mature plant sizes.

With proper landscaping, you can direct water flow away from your house, preventing foundation problems and erosion.

Choose low-maintenance plants native to your climate. Group plants with similar watering needs.

Native plants can be adapted to your climate, requiring less water and maintenance. They also attract beneficial pollinators like butterflies and bees.

Applying mulch around your plants helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Landscaping can transform your yard into an extension of your living space. Patios, decks, and walkways create areas for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing outdoors.
