Beautify My Home with a Sunday Fun Project..on Monday

Ever since I came back from my trip I've been wanting to go to the Nursery and pick up some Indoor Plants. During my stay in El Salvador I learned how to appreciate plants and how much beauty they bring to the home. Normally I stay clear of them because I have what my family calls a "black thumb". I kill every plant I buy and our inside joke is that I have found a way to even kill flake plants!
What I believe now is that I just didn't appreciate them and never really cared for them the way they deserve to be taken care of!

During my stay in El Salvador, I was amazed on how the women go out of their way to find new plants and share them with another family member (maybe this is just my family thing, I don't know) and take pride on how many they have and enjoy them! I stayed during the month of June and July and everything is green. They have very tropical weather and just about everything grows there!

Here is one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen, it's called Midnight flower. It blooms normally in the night and by next day it's dead. This grows in my Aunts back yard.

I live in a very hot and dry area, it's very hard to keep nice plants unless you have an aggregation system that can be costly. My husband has promised to install them  as soon as we can and I plan to enjoy my new beautiful plants. Before this happens I want to start buying Indooor plants and so I went online to find out what the best ones are. Here are my favorites:

Moth Orchid

Moth orchid is not only extremely beautiful but has got air-purifying qualities too. It is considered as one of the best air-purifying house plants. They bear a minimum of five buds and they open one by one, from the bottom of the stem to its tip. And this creates a riot of colors. Along with the already mentioned qualities, one more point to rejoice is the fact that they bloom for two to three months once or twice a year. (gardening clan.com)

They're the most house-friendly variety, and the one most gardeners recommend anyone new to caring for orchids start out on. Orchids are relatively low maintenance and fairly easy to find in most Lowe's or at Home Depot. (theattractionforums.com)

Clivia Miniatas

Clivia Miniatas have a well-earned reputation as rugged houseplants that demand very little attention. (Love this!)

They grow best where they receive bright daylight but little or no direct sunlight. (whiteflowerfarm.com)

Peace Lily

The Peace Lily are shaded loving plants in their native habitat, and in the home they prefer light to moderate shade. (about.com)

Now going back to my Beautify My Home with a Sunday project. I went to my local Target to see if I could find any of these beauties and to my surprise the Gardening Dept. had been removed to make room for the Groceries they now carry. I love my new Super Target but I hated the fact that this dept. had been removed! Now I have to Beautify My Home on a Monday because it was to late to go to a Nursery.

Here is what I have chosen: The Moth Orchid!!!!!

I ended up going to Home Depot and I was disappointed on their selection for Indoor Plants, next time I am going to my local nursery. That said, I was very glad this beauty was there just waiting for me. 

What do you think of my choice?
