There is nothing like being outdoors in a tropical paradise to unwind and de-stress, but since a lot of us spend so many hours indoors, we often do not reap the healthy benefits of being in nature.

Ponytail Palm
Ponytail Palm
An amusing green plant that looks like something from a Dr. Suess book, the Ponytail Palm is neither a palm nor a tree. It’s a succulent! Water is stored in its bulbous trunk. Its slender, hair-like leaves sprout from the top of the trunk and flow down in a fashion similar to a ponytail.
Incorporate Fragrant Plants
Having pleasing aromas along with soothing greenery in your home will definitely make you feel like you are in a tropical resort. Pick plants that have scented leaves or fragrant blooms, such as gardenia, jasmine, lavender, rosemary, mint, or verbena.
To prevent your indoor tropical oasis from looking too cluttered, consider the entire space of your home and not just floor space. Plants can be located on shelves, counters, windowsills, or stairs. You can also put them in hanging planters to free up floor space and to keep them away from pets. The intent is to surround yourself with greenery in an orderly manner to produce a soothing and relaxing environment. Keep plants well-trimmed and pruned so they always appear healthy and so you won’t need a machete to get from your living room to your kitchen.
