The Right Time to Buy Houseplants
December 22nd, 2005 · by Bill Hole
The issue of clean air and especially clean, indoor air is always more of a concern in winter. Our homes are usually shut tight and unless you have air exchange system, outside air is not coming into our home in a regular and consistent way. Even with good air exchange systems, the air is still low in humidity. Plants are one of the best humidifiers for your home. And not only will they add moisture, plants will clean the air. And as an added bonus, this time of year most indoor plants are on at reduced prices as growers clear their greenhouses for the spring plant crops.
