How to Have Healthy Houseplants Webinar and YouTube

Written by Rhonda Ferree, retired horticulture educator

Having houseplants in our homes make them come alive. In fact, studies indicate that houseplants help keep people happier and healthier. Plants fill an important psychological function, while also cleansing indoor air, and making us more productive.

Houseplants add life and beauty to a home. I will provide simple tips to select and care for houseplants in this webinar/video. After viewing this program, even those with "brown garden thumbs" will know how to have healthy houseplants throughout their home.

How to Have Healthy Houseplants is presented live on February 14 at 1:30 p.m. and again on February 16 at 6:30 p.m. All sessions are available for live home viewing. Contact your local Extension office to inquire about attending the webinar at the Extension office.

Following the session, a taped version is available on YouTube. Registration and YouTube information are found at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/hmrs/4seasons.
