Let there be light

Go green
Bring the outside in with some leafy greens that look good, are good for the environment, and require little maintenance. According to Style Curator, the Monstera deliciosa, or ‘Swiss cheese plant’ is the Queen of the indoor plant world – suitable for any room in the home; it doesn’t require direct sunlight and only needs weekly watering. Black thumbs rejoice!
