Are you a good Plant Parent?⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the right environment, you can make your houseplants feel at ease...⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Houseplants are great for brightening up the rooms in your home or office, but they can turn yellow or wilt, leaving you feeling like a bad planet parent. Follow these simple steps to give your houseplants the best chance of remaining green and healthy.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A healthy houseplant receives the proper amount of light, soil, and moisture. In other words, it lives in a setting that is similar to home. A good tip is to make your plants feel at ease by simulating their natural surroundings. It is worthwhile to investigate where your houseplants come from and what causes them to thrive.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 1: Pay attention to your plants' changing watering requirements as the seasons change.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 2: To properly water your plant, imagine it like a sponge. It is not necessary to completely dry out your plant before flooding it; this can be stressful.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 3: To keep moisture in your plant soil, use moisture-retention soil.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 4: Feed your plant on a regular basis.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 5: Avoid bugs by using the most recent insecticides.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Vertical Gardens are a growing trend that can help

Vertical Gardens are a growing trend that can help you save money on your energy bills.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are all about resisting the ever-increasing urge to follow trends, but when it comes to Vertical Gardens, this may be a trend to consider.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what are some of the advantages of having a vertical garden?⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vertical gardens help to keep you cool, improve the air quality in your home, and reduce noise pollution. Green walls can reduce air temperature around intake valves, requiring less energy from air conditioning units to cool the air before it is circulated throughout a home. Installing a garden like this is a simple way to boost the value of your home.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Breaking down the key plastic codes⁣
⁣
The Universal Recycling Symbol was created in 1970 to represent the stages of the recycling process: material collection, recycling, and new recycled products. For plastics, a triangle formed by three arrows surrounds a number ranging from 1 to 7, forming a Möbius strip. The symbol is used to identify the packaging material as well as whether it can be recycled to make new products.⁣

Plastic-Free Period Strategy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Plastic-Free Period Strategy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a lot simpler than the title suggests, haha, but have you ever thought about it?⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the course of a lifetime, a single menstruator will use somewhere between 5 and 15 thousand pads and tampons – which nearly all ends up in landfill.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reusable liners, period underwear, and period cups are great ways to avoid unnecessary plastic while also saving money in the long run. Have you begun to use reusable liners, period underwear, or a period cup yet?⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If that's the case, what advice would you give to someone who is hesitant to make the switch?⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally, I thought it was a wonderful change - once you get into a routine, it's a piece of cake. However, because everyone is different, when selecting an eco-friendly alternative, make sure to try what works best for you and your daily lifestyle.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Change is in the air... Period!⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
