National Housplant Week 8th – 14th January
Why January is the Best Time to Become a Plant Parent
As the tinsel is packed away and the Yorkshire skies stay a bit grey, our homes can start to feel a little stark. That’s why National Houseplant Week (8th–14th January) couldn’t come at a better time. At ACW Garden Centre, we believe a house isn’t a home without a bit of greenery, and here is why you should consider adding a new leafy friend this week:
1. A Natural Mood Boost. It’s no secret that January can be a long month. Studies show that simply being around indoor plants can lower stress levels and improve your mood. Tending to a plant—even just a quick watering once a week—gives you a small, rewarding routine to look forward to.
2. Breathing Easier During winter, we keep our windows shut and the heating up, which can lead to “stale” indoor air. Plants like Sansevieria (Snake Plants) and Spathiphyllum (Peace Lilies) are famous for their ability to filter common household toxins, acting like mini air-scrubbers for your lounge or home office.
3. Minimal Effort, Maximum Reward Worried you aren’t “green-fingered”? Don’t be! Read our Top 10 Easy Care Houseplants For Your Home. From the hardy ZZ plant to the classic Spider Plant, these varieties are perfect for busy households.
Visit us at ACW this week to see our latest arrivals. We have a huge variety of pots and specialised compost to get you started, plus our team is always happy to share their top tips for keeping your plants happy through the winter.
