Feng Shui: Indoor Plants for Good Vibes
We all know that indoor plants are notorious for bringing life to a space, purifying the air, reducing stress and improving overall wellbeing. But what if we told you that plants have another secret power? Okay, it’s not entirely a secret because Feng Shui has been around for forever. In fact, this Chinese philosophy has been around for over four thousand years, and it's still being used widely today.
