The life of a plant is beautiful. Did you know most of the plants know how to reciprocate our love and affection? When thinking about self-care, it is easy to overlook the space around you because we all perceive the notion that self is only about taking care of your body. But incorporating a touch of green into your home can brighten your space aesthetically and allow you to reap the benefits. A significant advantage of the same would be good mental health, but some aesthetics to the house would not do any harm, would it? Being beautiful is a survival mechanism for plants, just like a thriving mechanism is for you. Just like how flowers have gorgeous petals to attract pollinators, each plant species evolved to have specific characteristics that would increase survival in nature. Some of these characteristics include lush and colourful leaves, a pleasant smell while blooming or the ability to flower. For many, this evolutionary process has been so successful that they now have a relatively easy life — in the homes of humans. They are not just visually appealing but also has some kind of healing power.
