Most people who work in an office environment have found it beneficial to have a plant or several plants on their desk. Plants have a natural calming affect as well as the ability to filter the air, provide a source of oxygen and replace humidity in the air.

Living in an apartment anywhere, you don't have room for a big garden outdoors but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy indoor plants in the rooms you spend most of your time in.
