Plant Parenthood 101: Why a Little Green Goes a Long Way. by Katie

Let’s be real—plants are basically the quietest, most low-maintenance roommates you could ask for. They don’t talk back, they’re always down to hang, and they make your space feel instantly more alive. Whether it’s your living room or your salon station, a splash of greenery can do wonders for your mood, productivity, and even the air you breathe. Yup, science says so!

Studies have shown that houseplants can help reduce stress, boost creativity, and purify the air by removing toxins (looking at you, peace lily). Plus, they just make everything look more pulled together. Want to make your space feel like a calm, curated Pinterest board? Add a plant. Boom. Instant upgrade.

Scared you’ll accidentally kill one? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. The trick is starting with beginner-friendly plants that don’t mind a little neglect. Here are a few tried-and-true green pals that are basically unkillable: Snake Plant – Thrives on being ignored. Loves low light. Totally chic. ZZ Plant – Glossy, drought-tolerant, and nearly indestructible. Pothos – A fast grower that’ll trail beautifully and forgive you for forgetting to water it. Spider Plant – Great in hanging pots, super adaptable, and even makes baby plants for you (how cute is that?).

So if you’ve been thinking about dipping your toes into plant life, consider this your sign. Grab a cute pot, pick a green buddy, and let the good vibes grow.

And hey—if you ever find yourself in a fernzy over what plant to choose or how not to kill it, just ask Katie. She's always rooting for you!
