No, not 'nursery' as in baby's room, but as in 'place where there is an overage of plants' and that is now a potentially accurate description of my house. But seriously, have you read any of this stuff about the chemicals and toxins in the air and how certain plants can remove them? You are well aware that i'm a big fan of the magical chelating powers of cilantro -so it shouldn't be a surprise that I have a similar fervor now I have essentially found a cilantro for the house and the air we breathe. Ahhh...
From another perspective, it might seem that I went a bit overboard on buying plants for the house... but whoever has that view probably has been inhaling too much benzene, formaldehyde or trichloroethylene... (or worse!) ewww. I will readily admit that the 6 large plants and 3 massive hanging baskets (not to mention an assortment of smaller window sill type plants) drew some attention as I loaded up my car.These little plants are earning their keep. And I love hard workers. I'll do my best to make them comfy, too.

Please teach me which plant I should buy for my house. I am too lazy to read your links. :) No rush though...unless we're going to need them ASAP or something.
haha! get a peace lily, a rubber plant and a couple ivy hanging baskets. you'll be set. all are hearty and survive even being neglected ;) they say 1 plant for each 100 sq ft and grouping them in the house and away from drafts maximizes the benefit.
xxoo
