It really should come as little surprise that houseplants are the workhorses of home decor. Trees basically keep the planet running – so it's no wonder that their little foot soldiers, the houseplants, do a bang-up job of keeping things in order on the home front. They remove indoor air pollution, help deter illness, can improve sleep, boost your mood, and even help alleviate dry skin.
