Snake plant ( Sansevieria trifasciata)
Here's an interesting fact about the snake plant: It's not just a beautiful houseplant; it has a fascinating history of aiding space exploration. NASA's Clean Air Study in the 1980s revealed that snake plants are incredibly effective at removing indoor air pollutants, including formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene. This discovery prompted NASA to include snake plants in the list of air-purifying plants for use in space stations.
Snake plants are exceptional at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, even at night, which makes them ideal for maintaining air quality in enclosed spaces. Their ability to thrive in low-light conditions and withstand neglect also made them a practical choice for astronauts.
So, not only does the snake plant enhance the atmosphere of your home, but it has also played a crucial role in ensuring the air quality for astronauts as they explore the cosmos. It's a testament to the plant's remarkable resilience and air-purifying capabilities, making it a truly out-of-this-world houseplant.
Raspberries bush live plant
In a small space, raspberries yield a phenomenal quantity of ravishing berries—and they fruit year after year with proper care. Raspberries can be harvested all the way from midsummer through to the first frost.
All raspberries are self-fertile, so you only need one bush to produce fruit. They’re best pollinated by bees, and will start producing fruit a year after planting. Though raspberry bushes are naturally inclined to grow in cooler climates, the plants now come in many varieties suited to a range of planting zones.
