Give mom... clean air?

Mother's Day is quickly approaching, it's May 10th. You could do the traditional and send Mom roses or daisies, but how about something a little more eco-friendly?

The peace lily, or Spathiphyllum, cleans your air, they remove 'environmental contaminants, including benzene, formaldehyde, and other pollutants', says Wikipedia. They are considered useful in combatting indoor air pollution. NASA did a 2 year study and created a list of the top ten plants to acquire.

This beautiful flowering bulb, is an elegant plant to give your mom on any day. They are easy to care for, need water only 1 - 1 1/2 weeks or when the soil becomes dry. They like the shade and make excellent indoor plants. Mine have recently started blooming, so every year your mom can be reminded of how much you love her.

Tell your mom you're thinking about her this Mother's Day in a unique way that will last throughout the year. Not only will you make your mom smile when she sees this gorgeous plant gracing her home, but you will know that you are contributing to a better, healthier lifestyle for her.
