Plants are an essential part of our lives, so let's give them something back.
When you think of plants, you might think of the snake plant that sat on your grandparents’ windowsill, or the spiky cactus in your office meeting room. Yet plants also cover the steppes and tundras, and make our countryside green and picturesque. Just think of the heather on the moor, or the forests alongside motorways — and what about the fruit and vegetables we eat? These green beings we share our planet with provide us with enormous abundance and riches. We could do with thanking them more often.
No life without plants
The history of plants is part of the history of the Earth itself. They are essential for our planet's survival. Thanks to their ability to convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis, plants are the world's main producers of oxygen, and also the basis for most food chains. In terms of evolution, the existence of animals on land could only occur after plants had arrived. Without them, there would be no oxygen, no food, no animals — and we wouldn't exist, either.

Water them regularly, give them a feed, and polish their leaves until they shine. They really do thrive on that — and it will give you a boost too. Houseplants are more than just home decor objects, they're well and truly alive. Plants are life itself. Thanks, plants.
