"All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing." That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.-Romans 10:9 "In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more, only one of each of us."-Dr.Mccoy |

Always make sure that any new plants are safe for your pets before you bring them into your home. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11579268 Thanks didn't know that...

Zedakah User ID: 58407142 United States 04/08/2015 07:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Snake Plant is also very good at purifying the surrounding air (sansevieria trifasciata). A lot of hospitals will have pots of this in the hallway, because it is helpful in cleaning up the air quality. It is toxic if ingested, like many other plants on the list. |

They'd all be dead within 2 weeks. My man-made-something just plugs in the wall and won't die if I forget to water it. Sure, it costs monthly and depletes our ozone more by using fossil fuels to power the thing, but hey... It's alive and I can continue being lazy. |

samanthasunflower User ID: 30456298 United States 04/08/2015 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I personally think that any living plant will help clean the air in your home. Quoting: samanthasunflower At the moment, I have about 1,000 baby tomato plants in my house. So that should do it. ONE THOUSAND TOMATO PLANTS...ALL INSIDE???!!!! Yep, 1,000 plants. I start them inside and move then outside to my unheated greenhouse when they are up and growing. But they germinate in my house. I plant about two acres of tomatoes and sell a few thousand plants each year. I usually have about 100 varieties. Last Edited by samanthasunflower on 04/08/2015 09:06 PM |
